Welcome to day one of your Oktoberfest trip in Munich! After meeting and greeting at our accommodation, we'll then take an orientation of the city - your chance to pick up a dirndl or lederhosen for those keen to dress like the locals. Here are some facts to get you in the know: There are 14 main beer tents, the biggest holding 11,000 party people, so get your checklist as you make your way through as many as you can. It's been said that each year over 7.5 million litres of beer are guzzled, 500,000 roast chickens are eaten, and approximately 50,000 pork knuckles are consumed. So help those statistics and get eating!

We've got a full day at the fest today! Options mostly involve eating traditional food like pork knuckle, drinking beer out of steins, hopping from festival tents to amusement rides and generally living our best Bavarian lives. We'll soon understand why this is one of the most famous parties in the world…

Rise and shine - we've got the perfect optional activity to shake of those cobwebs this morning, with a bike tour through the city (summer trips only). After sinking some steins in the English Gardens, it's time to get our party on again. Prost!

Ensure you see the full picture of the city. They say that the more you learn about the past, the better prepared you are for the future, and with this in mind we include a trip to Dachau concentration camp, to pay tribute to the victims of some horrific acts that took place so many years ago.

Our trip ends after breakfast today. Swap contact details and start arranging your next party!
