Munich Oktoberfest: accommodation in 2nd week?
The Munich Oktoberfest starts this weekend (19 Sept.).
Accommodation is probably fully booked. But how about if I went in the last few days (29 Sept onwards). Are there any cheap hotels available? Barring that -- any other German beer festivals coming up? Bruce |

No Munich hotel is cheap during Oktoberfest. Monday (29 Sep) to Thursday (2 Oct) should be available though. Just avoid the weekends and Friday (3 Oct) that is Germany's national holiday. Try at Muenchner Hotel Verbund, phone +49 1805 307750, fax +49 1805 307751, email: or Munich Tourist Office, phone +49 89 233-96555, +49 89 233-30236, +49 89 233-30237, fax +49 89 233-30233, email . Barring that -- any other German beer festivals coming up? There's nothing like the original. Have fun. Jens |

Munich Oktoberfest: accommodation in 2nd week?
My friends just booked a room last week for the first weekend. It's costing
them $185 a night. I told them I thought it was a good price. Some of the hotels, if they have room at all, are going for $250-$300. I think it's the Apart Hotels and Residence near the Hauptbahnhof.

I'm used to see it enroute to Munich and Octoberfest. This year I think I'll skip the Octoberfest totally and go to other places in Bavaria instead. One reason , too much smoking in the beertents in my opinion. L.P |

Because the Cannstatter Volksfest is by far not as famous as the Oktoberfest. In Munich are much more tourists from all over the world who need accomodation. In Stuttgart most visitors are locals, who don't need rooms to rent. Also you can search the cities around Stuttgart for room. For example Esslingen http://www.esslingen.de is a nice historic town - not far from Stuttgart. With the S-Bahn it will only take 12 minutes to reach Bad Cannstatt, where the Volksfest takes place. The Cannstatter Volksfest is almost the same as the Oktoberfest. Large beer tents, (drunken) people dancing on the tables, and of course a lot of beer... But the beer is a little bit more expensive than in Munich: 1 Maß (1 Liter) 7,20 Euro (in Munich between 6,30 and 6,80 Euro). Please apologize my bad english. Thomas |

Bruce I haven't faced problem in Nuremberg at that time. Except one year when there was a garden exhibition but that's not the case this year. Expect Munich and an area out to Augsburg,Landshut and commuting distances up to 60km to be crowded but elsewhere Bavaria is rather quiet and ,in my opinion real nice at that time, to visit. |
