I went to Oktoberfest with Smart Trips and I thoroughly enjoyed my time. they had everything planned out perfectly from the beginning to the end. the bus ride was long but once we got to Munich we all forgot about it. We started the day with a nap which was very much needed but after that, we were shown where we could get dirndls with a discount which really helped us fit in. after dirndle shopping we headed back to our hostel to get ready for the day. our hostel was about a twenty minute walking distance from the festival which made it really convenient. The first day we went a bit later in the day and we were able to get into a tent. There we ordered a stein of beer and a meal. The meal in the tent was schnitzel and it was really good but the food in the tent was just very pricey. It is also important to keep in mind that in the tents it is cash only so you need to make sure to bring cash with you when you go. Then we eventually left the tent and found out that when you leave a tent you can really get back in so we decided to stay in the tent the whole day for the next day. The next day we woke up early and smart trips actually organized walking to the festival together so that we could all stand in line together. We were able to quickly get into the festival and secure a table at one of the most popular tents in the whole festival. From there we were able to hang out in the tent. In the tent we ran into other people that we met through the trip as well as people from back in Florence.we spent basically the whole day there and then we explored around the many rides at the festival. The this that i loved most about our experience with smart trips is that, they also had additional activities available, like a bike tour and a trip to Dachau concentration camp. I choose on the last day to partake in going to Dachau. It was very nice to be able to have the opportunity to learn about dachau and have the ability to go when i otherwise would not have been able to. it was overall an amazing trip and I had so much fun
