Munich too expensive over Oktoberfest - how to enjoy it while staying somewhere else?
by crewrower
Will be in Europe during this time and am considering going to Munich with my wife primarily for the Oktoberfest. We'd be arriving at around 1130pm at Munich airport on Friday Sept 24th. Of course, the hotels are outrageously expensive and availability is poor. I'm wondering if you have any creative suggestions about how to day trip into Munich for a day or two. We'd also like to take in some of the attractions in Munich (and possibly Stuttgart). Would be ok to spend 1 night in Munich area (at the high prices) if absolutely need be, but otherwise just looking for a cheap (but clean) place that's on a good transportation line.
Thanks for your help.

You could stay in Augsburg or Ulm, which would be somwhere between Stuttgart and Munich, although I'm not quite sure why you want to see Stuttgart.
If you like hiking and would rather stay a bit closer to Munich, you could also stay in Bad Tölz or Lenggries, with Tölz being closer to Munich and more beautiful. Lenggries is probably cheaper.
There's an hourly train service to Munich

Try Augsburg. It takes you by train 1:45 h from the airport to Augsburg. The city itself is nice and worth a visit. From Augsburg back to Munich by (local)train is 45 min. Augsburg hotels seem to have "normal" rates - Bad Tölz is also influenced by the Oktoberfest and thus quite expensive.

If you have to go to Stuttgart - fine, if not, skip it. (Big construction area around the main station and lots of demonstrations against this project)

Thanks turtleshell and colares.
Do you know if there are trains so late from Munich airport to Augsburgh though? Our flight would land at around 1130pm on Friday night.
I see that there is a bus service, but cannot read what this says: http://www.wackerltour.de/wtour20/flughafen/

If you do go to Stuttgart, there is a great new Porsche Museum - also the Mercedes-Benz Museum is neat as well. I'm a car guy so I get into this stuff.

Best option with a that late arrival time will be to stay in Freising. But this is not far enough from Munich to be untouched by Oktoberfest.

DB timetable
http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en
From: MUC
To: Freising
To: Augsburg
and select as means of transport "only local transport".
There is a connection to Augsburg that late (or early) - but you'll arrive in Augsburg at 02:46.

Might be too far out of the way, but Regensburg is lovely and only around 1.5 hours from Munich.
Last train is 23:33 from Munich airport, so no good for the first night...but worth considering for the others, perhaps?

> If You like good beer try Koestritzer, Wernesgruener or Radeberger.
Bavarians won't appreciate it if you ask for a beer from outside Bavaria.

Well, it is nothing to do with giving you a break. It is simply a matter of personal preference and personal interests. I thought Regensburg was lovely, and Bamberg, Wurzburg and Nurnberg. I enjoy history, and walking, and finding out about towns and how they developed. You may not. Fair enough. Such is life.
Travel Tips for Munich
Ice cream on Marienplatz
by llcole
My friend and I were watching a group of older gentlemen eating ice cream cones. She was fascinated (for some reason), and was positive that the man with his back to the wall would finish his last. She was right, as it turned out. Anyway, I thought I'd indulge her by recording the memory in a photo.

Residenz - Royal Residence,...
by barcodex
Residenz - Royal Residence, palace of different styles of architecture. I was impressed of weird style of painting the walls as frescoes, instead of making it 3D. Art exhibitions are held inside, as I understood.
Erasmus Grassers...
by zitronella
Erasmus Grassers 'Moriskentänzer' - you can find copies at several places in the historic town center - the originals can be seen at the town museum - made in 1480 they originaly where placed in the old town hall - the name Moriske is dated back to an ancient dancing ritual or game, where dancers made wild gestures
Japanese Tea House
by sarahandgareth
The Japanese Tea House in the Englischer Garden is a real off the beaten track find. We were wandering around after our stop at the beer garden and pretty much stumbled upon it. Upon reading the sign, we realized that there was going to be a tea ceremony shortly, so we decided to stick around.
The ceremony which was part participation (we got to eat a traditional Japanese cookie and drink tea) and part witness (we watched two women act out one part of the ceremony). The whole event was very interesting and unique.
Note: During our ceremony, the staff explained what was going on only in German. If you don't speak German, ask before entering if they can translate any of it into your language.
