Cheers! In 2010, Germany's Oktoberfest celebrates its 200th anniversary, and Oktoberfest visitors can look forward to some special events and performances this year.

The very first Oktoberfest was held in 1810, and this year's "Historical Wiesn" allows you travel back in time to experience the origin of the most famous beer festival in the world. Visitors can try out historical fairground rides and games, visit a race on vintage bicycles, and enjoy Bavarian delicacies in historical beer tents.

Practical Information:

  • Where: Southern section of the Oktoberfest venue (subway stops U3 or U6 "Poccistraße")
  • When: September 17 - October 4, 10:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
  • Admission to Historic Oktoberfest: 4 Euros (regular Oktoberfest is free!)

Everything Oktoberfest
