Munich's Oktoberfest meadow today! A fantastic atmosphere in Munich, and less than 2 days until the world's largest Oktoberfest begins (English, Deutsch)
Munich. The Bavarian capital is in pure Oktoberfest anticipation. Many guests have already arrived and are dressing up in dirndls and lederhosen, visiting Munich's sights, from the English Garden to the Residenz palace and the Hellabrunn Zoo on the Isar River. People are already enjoying the weather today, sitting in the beer garden at the Viktualienmarkt or at the Chinese Tower in the English Garden. The sun is shining, and the people setting up the Oktoberfest on the vast Theresienwiese are doing their best. Here and there you can hear the Oktoberfest bands rehearsing in the tents, the rides are running trials, and the small Augustiner pub at the Theresienwiese subway station is already well attended.
