Reasons To Visit Germany - The Munich Oktoberfest
Germany is a massive country in more ways than one. Sure it's not quite as big as Australia or the United States in terms of land mass but it's still up there for things to do. You see Germany has a long history. Even though the land may not always have been called Germany, many of the towns, cities and regions have existed in their own right for a thousand years and longer. So if you are planning a trip to Germany, you will not be scratching your head for things to do.
One of the first things you might think of doing ids to take in the beer festival in Munich. Let me say, that's a fine idea as it is one of the truly unique events you might have the pleasure of partaking in. Sure, other countries have adopted the idea of having an October beer festival but nothing beats the one and only original in Munich.
You will soon be chatting to some very noisy but generally happy people. Hmm..let me pnder that one ? Maybe it's the copious amount of beer that is consumed in a very short space of time. However it's probably more about the way it is consumed than anything else.
The festival ground where the event takes place consists of many halls and tents. There seems to be three important parts of each hall or tent. The first is a never ending, conveyor belt of beers, the second is rustic music from a lederhosen clad band and the third is many large tables with benches. The table and benches where you drink beer make people sit together and help to break the ice with strangers. From my experiences of the festival you will soon make beer chugging pals. And due to the world famous appeal of the festival you are bound to meet many people from all over the world including one or two from your own country.
The event is so popular that you have to get to the hall or tent that takes your fancy early on. If you do not have your spot on a table before mid morning you may find it hard to get a place. With that out of the way, it's time for some serious drinking with a bit of food to line the stomach. The best scran has to be the sausages – ordinary or white sausages (cheese). Ok, it's not haute cuisine but it goes down a treat with beer. You can also get all time favorites of German cooking like pretzels and sauerkraut.
There is plenty ot see and do in Germany and high on that list is the Munich beer festival. It's known as the Oktoberfest but begins around late September through to early October each year. If you are fortunate to be in Munich around that time you really need to mark a day of beer drinking and general celebration on your calender. And once you've gotten over the hangover…there is plenty more to see and do in Munich.
