How to experience the Oktoberfest at its best:
Whether traditional, cosy or full of adrenaline – we show you how to make the Oktoberfest 2025 unforgettable.
1. Back to the roots – the “Oide Wiesn”
If you want to experience the Oktoberfest in its most original form, you’ve come to the right place. The Oide Wiesn will amaze you with its nostalgic flair, historic rides, genuine folk music and living Bavarian traditions – a place to linger and enjoy.
2. Oktoberfest from above – the Ferris wheel
Climb aboard, get up high and be amazed: the Ferris wheel offers a spectacular view over the entire festival site and the Munich skyline. An unforgettable moment – especially at sunset!
3. Small but oho – our favourite Oktoberfest tents
If you prefer a more personalised experience, leave the big tents behind and discover these three charming insider tips:
- Glöckle Wirt – rustic, traditional, cosy
- Münchner Knödelei – creative, Bavarian, delicious
- Hochreiter’s Zur Bratwurst – small, fine, atmospheric
This is where real bavarian “Wirtshaus” culture meets cheerful evenings out.
4. Enjoying organic food in the Ammerzelt
The organic chicken tastes particularly good in the beer garden of the Ammerzelt – freshly grilled, regional and an absolute delight in the sunshine. Our tip for all gourmets
5. For the brave & curious – the toboggan
An integral part of the Wiesn since 1933 and still a cult attraction: the Toboggan! Whether you’re a brave participant or an enthusiastic spectator – fun is guaranteed.
