Munich Oktoberfest 2026

Your Munich getaway includes return flights, return airport transfers, and accommodation in a carefully selected 3★, 4★ or 5★ hotel, depending on the option chosen at the time of booking.

All taxes and fees related to your booking are included, together with the support of an expert Yes Getaways Trip Manager before you travel.

This is a self-guided holiday, giving you the freedom to experience Munich and Oktoberfest at your own pace.

Unless specifically stated, meals, attraction entrance fees, optional tours, local transportation, travel insurance, and any applicable local hotel taxes payable at the destination are not included.

You can choose between carefully selected 3★, 4★ or 5★ hotels, all offering comfortable accommodation and convenient access to Munich's city centre and public transport.

Depending on your selected package, your hotel provides an excellent base for exploring Munich's historic landmarks and reaching the Oktoberfest grounds with ease.

Your package includes return airport transfers between Munich Airport and your hotel, ensuring a smooth arrival and departure experience.

Breakfast may be included, depending on the hotel and room type selected. Please refer to your booking confirmation for the details of your chosen package.

Lunches and dinners are not included, giving you the flexibility to experience Munich's excellent culinary scene, from traditional Bavarian beer halls and cosy cafés to modern restaurants and international cuisine.

Yes. Entry to the Oktoberfest festival grounds (Theresienwiese) is completely free.

However, food, drinks, rides and purchases inside the festival are payable locally.

Some beer tents accept reservations for specific tables and times, while many areas remain available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Table reservations are not required, but they are highly recommended if you plan to visit the larger beer tents during evenings, weekends or peak festival dates, as they fill up quickly.

Many tents also reserve areas for walk-in guests, allowing visitors without a reservation to find seating, particularly earlier in the day. If you're travelling in a small group and arrive early, you can often enjoy the Oktoberfest experience without booking in advance.

Yes.

Flight customisations may include checked baggage, preferred seating, Premium Economy or Business Class upgrades, subject to airline availability.
