Isn’t it time you went to the granddaddy of all beer festivals? The Munich Oktoberfest is undoubtedly one of the most famous events and the world's largest fair. This year the Oktoberfest 2012 will be no exception. With some six million people attending every year, it is an important part of Bavarian culture and one of those events you have to have on your bucket list.

Munich's Oktoberfest began life as a wedding for the Bavarian crown prince Ludwig to princess Therese from Saxony-Hildburghausen (hence the name of the Theresienwiese) on October 12, 1810 and attended by the local community. Today the Munich Beerfest traditionally takes place during the sixteen days up to and including the first Sunday in October with Oktoberfest 2012 starting on Saturday, 22nd September until Sunday the 7th of October.
