Oktoberfest in München is the world's largest folk festival — and the beer tents are its beating heart. Each of the 35 tents has its own character: From the legendary Schottenhamel, where the mayor taps the first keg, to the Augustiner-Festhalle with its traditional wooden-cask beer, to the international Hofbräu-Festzelt. Whether you are looking for a wild party, a relaxed Bavarian meal or a family-friendly experience — you will find the right tent here.
Large Tents
The 17 large festival halls are the heart of Oktoberfest. They hold up to 10,000 guests at a time, live brass bands play all day and the atmosphere is unlike anything else in the world.

Arrive Early
Without a reservation, aim to be at the tent before 10 AM. Weekdays give you the best chance of finding a seat. On weekends, tents are often full by noon.
Book a Reservation
Reservations usually open in spring. Contact the tents directly — there is no central booking platform. Minimum orders (food and drink vouchers) are standard.
Bring Cash
Not all tents accept card payments. Bring enough cash — budget around 60-80 EUR per person for a few beers and food. Tipping the waitstaff is expected.
Wear Tracht
Dirndl and Lederhosen are not mandatory, but most visitors wear them and it is part of the fun. In some tents, wearing Tracht can help you get in faster. Check our What to Wear guide.
