How to be one of the others at the Oktoberfest

Tradition, Bavarian pride, music, typical costumes and lots of beer. Oktoberfest is the most popular festival in Germany and one of the most important in the world. Millions of people visit Munich to enjoy the drink in person, although some do not make it past the second jug. There are no half measures here: or dance on the benches singing in German (even if you have no idea what you’re saying) or look like a typical tourist who came to take their photo and then went to sleep.
