Tip: Don’t Wait to Book Accommodations For Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest is one of the most well known cultural events in the world! Millions of people from all over the world fly to Munich, Germany just to experience the world’s largest beer festival. 

You can imagine just how packed and crowded with tourists the Bavarian capital gets during this time. Everything from hotels, hostels, and AirBnbs get booked pretty quickly. Most people book their accommodations months to a year or more in advance in order to find the best deals, good locations…or anything at all.

That’s why choosing where to stay is one of the most important decisions to make when planning your trip! This guide will help you choose the best place to stay in Munich for Oktoberfest.

We’ve not only spent many weeks exploring Munich over the years, we’ve invested time in searching out great hotels for Oktoberfest so you can book with confidence. In this guide we share where we’ve stayed, as well as hotels recommended by members of our travel community. 

When Is Oktoberfest?

Oktoberfest usually begins mid-September and goes on until early October, specifically the first Sunday of October. The festival typically lasts 16 to 18 days. The dates change each year. This year, the 189th Oktoberfest, will be held from Saturday, September 21st to Sunday, October 6th.

On September 16, the first Saturday of Oktoberfest, the tents will open at 9 am. Non-alcoholic beverages (except beer!) will be available from 10 am. One of the top highlights of the opening is the traditional tapping of the first beer barrel which happens at exactly 12 noon, marking the official start of Oktoberfest.

Oktoberfest area

Where Is Oktoberfest?

The official Oktoberfest grounds is Theresienwiese, where it is held every year. It is one of Munich’s largest festival grounds. It is located south west of the city center Old Town. 

Its central location means it’s pretty easily reachable by foot, bike, and public transportation. It has its own underground station Theresienwiese on the U-bahn (U4 and U5 lines). If you find the station too crowded, you can also opt for the nearby Goetheplatz and Poccistraße train stations on the U3 and U6 lines.

The nearest S-Bahn station is Hackerbrücke which is also 2 minutes away from München Hauptbahnhof, Munich central station.

The Oktoberfest festival is typically made up of 17 large tents and 21 small tents. From big beer tents serving local brew, to traditional dance floors with live brass music, and to smaller tents selling traditional Bavarian food, there is something for everyone.

Oktoberfest

Where’s The Best Place To Stay For Oktoberfest?

There are a couple of different areas that are worth looking into for your Oktoberfest accommodation. Each of them has their own pros and cons.

First, the Ludwig-Vorstadt-Isarvorstadt borough of Munich, home to the Theresienwiese, where Oktoberfest takes place, and the renowned Deutsches Museum.

There’s also the most well known neighborhoods in the area, which are Gärtnerplatzviertel and Glockenbachviertel, also known as the gay district of Munich. These are cool and upcoming neighborhoods filled with trendy bars, fun pubs, and hip restaurants. 

The biggest advantage of staying in these areas is definitely the close proximity to Theresienwiese. You’ll be within walking distance of the festival grounds and won’t have to worry about navigating public transportation after long days or nights. 

But since it’s such a prime location for Oktoberfest, hotels here book up months in advance. So there’s often a lack of availability, not to mention that prices can also be slightly more expensive compared to other places. 

Another of the best areas to stay in is the Altstadt (Old Town) in the center of Munich. You’ll find tons of great hotel options from Marienplatz to the main train station.

The Old Town is not only a convenient location for walking or taking pubic transit to Oktoberfest, it’s also close to top landmarks in the city such as Munich Residenz, Marienplatz, English Garden (Englischer Garten) and many more. So the Altstadt is a great option if you want to visit Oktoberfest but also want to see a lot of other parts of the city.

Where To Stay In Munich: Our Recommendations & Tips

  • Munich is one of the best cities to explore by foot, so we recommend booking one of the lovely hotels right in the heart of the city. That way you’ll be within easy walking distance to the main sights and a variety of great restaurants, cafes, and beer halls and gardens.
  • There are 3 main areas we recommend staying in Munich for ease, affordability, and comfort: near the main train station, near the Theresienwies, and in the Old Town (Altstadt).
  • Sights located away from the city center are easily accessible via tram, bus, U-bahn, S-bahn. or HOHO bus. All of our recommended hotels have easy access to public transportation.
  • Many hotels also offer parking – but do note that you don’t need a car to get around Munich. Unless you’re doing a day trip by car, you’ll likely want to leave your car at the hotel while you explore the city.
  • One one visit we stayed at the Hotel am Viktualienmarkt and loved that it was on a quiet side-street but still super close to the Old Town. The room was cozy and comfortable and breakfast was excellent.
  • On another visit we stayed at Schwan Locke aparthotel. We loved being able to walk to the Old Town and train station in 10-15 minutes. We also liked having a kitchenette, laundry facilities, underground parking, and an inner courtyard.

We’ve not only spent many weeks exploring Munich over the years, but we’ve also invested time in searching out great hotels in the city so you can book with confidence. We share the places we’ve stayed and recommend, as well as hotels recommended by members of our travel community.

SUMMARY: We love Schwan Locke! We stayed here for over a week and loved that our stylish, modern studio had a full kitchen (with free coffee, tea, etc), a spacious bathroom, a comfortable bed, large glass doors that opened onto a balcony, and super friendly and helpful staff. We also loved that we had a separate “living room” area with a couch, table, chair, ottoman, and TV. Even better: a lovely outdoor courtyard, gym, parking, and free laundry facilities. We highly recommend Schwan Locke!

Tip: request a courtyard room for a larger balcony and quieter room when the doors are fully open.
