How To Travel To Oktoberfest 2023
Getting to Munich’s Oktoberfest can be quite the ordeal, with all of the world’s beer lovers pining for a mega-pint of that delicious Bavarian nectar. But never fear, not only…
Oktoberfest 2022 is fast approaching and all things Germanic are on our minds again. It’s easy for us to slip into the German way of treating beer like water – particularly when the beer has supposed hangover-dodging properties, we have a culinary hit list just waiting to expand our waistlines, and we already know how cute we’ll look in our dirndls and lederhosen.
So now we look the part, and from a distance we could almost maybe pass off for real life Germans. But, as soon as someone gets within earshot of us they’ll realise that we’re not the real deal. That we’re either Canadian, or Kiwi, or Japanese, or any one of the 90 different nationalities that stayed with Stoke Travel last Oktoberfest.
So here’s a handy little language guide to take with you to Munich. You might want to practice these little phrases on your flight there, or on our London-Oktoberfest party train. Danke schon Google Translate!
Hello! Can we please dance on your table?
I just saw you from across the room and thought That’s the kind of girl/guy who should be buying me a beer.
Wow, you really fill that dirndl/lederhosen nicely.
No, no, don’t drink from that – somebody just puked in it!
If I can stand on my own you’re taking me home, deal?
Your tent or mine?
