Booking.com, the global leader in connecting travelers with the widest choice of incredible places to stay, has pulled together Oktoberfest getaways for a luxury or low-cost trip. With an average of seven million visitors each year, Oktoberfest is the world’s largest folk festival. Based in Munich, Germany, it is the number one destination for beer lovers, braided beauties, colorful parades, fairground rides and giant pretzels.
This year the festival spans over two weeks from September 17 to October 3, and will be held in a beautiful meadow just outside of Munich’s center (as well as being celebrated throughout the city). The popularity of Oktoberfest has grown worldwide with Booking.com listing Americans, Chinese and Australians as some of the top nationalities that booked accommodations in Munich during last year’s festival.
It’s no surprise that the highest endorsements for Munich include beer, sightseeing and shopping, but worth noting that if this year is a no-go, other destinations touted for their beer include Andechs in Germany, Humpolec in the Czech Republic and Savignone in Italy. For a last-minute visit to Munich or an early start on 2017’s festival, here are eight properties where travelers can lay their lederhosen…
