Each year around this time Munich and its Oktoberfest seems to get a bit of attention in the media. I’ve only been to Munich twice and Oktoberfest one time, but I’m a big fan. Ironically, I managed to get an invite into a festival beerhall tent from some Irish residents of Munich and not my German friends. The wonderful tilt-shift video below is from Joerg Daiber of Little Big World who compiled some great footage of the city and its festival in miniature.
It does look a beautiful city.
Especially amazing when you consider that it was just rubble at the end of WW II.
Yes!
To me, the Oktoberfest stands for binge drinking tourism. It’s a concept that many tourist destinations are copying.
