August ist the best time for visiting Oktoberfest. Everybody's busy putting up the tents and attrctions. Beer prices are low, if you just use the "cantina" and pretend to be a worker.

But I guess you want to come here in September? ;-) Next year?

logos was teasing you. Just to clarify - do you really mean 8-21/23(August)? If so you are out of luck. Oktoberfest is not in August.

Want cheap? There's room at the Augsburg hostel, 35-40 minutes from Munich by train, on those nights. 19 Euros each, breakfast included. Photos below.

Well, Oktoberfest this year starts on September 22nd, and ends October 7th, so you will have at least one evening to enjoy it.

You would have missed it entirely if you had really been going in August.
