There are a few things in Europe which are firmly on the trail of the independent traveller - Festival de San Fermin in Pamplona (or Running of the Bulls), La Tomatina in Bunol near Valencia, Hogmanay in Edinburgh, St Patrick's Day in Dublin - but of all of these, Oktoberfest in Munich (or Beerfest or Octoberfest) has got to be top of the 'do before you die' list. It is not just a European must-do, it ranks up there as one of the Worlds biggest parties. You have worked hard to travel to the UK - now party until you want to wear lederhosen*
*just don't let anyone take photos
We have a bit of everything in our Oktoberfest packages to suit all budgets. For those who want to keep more money aside for a few more steins we have our awesome coach camp option from London. For all you 'flash-packers' there is our legendary flight packages from London, direct to nearby Stuttgart, where you will be met by a merry band of Busabout guides who will entertain you on the way to Munich: a wee hop, skip and a jump away.
Busabout is passionate about independent travel, therefore we are not going to organise every minute of every day for you. We will organise orientation trips and make sure everybody is included in the awesome experience by taking you down to the festival site on the first day, however you are free to wander as you wish in beautiful Munich.
