Oktoberfest (Munich)
Munich, Germany
Oktoberfest in Munich, running since 1810, transforms the city into a mass of beer tents, carnival rides, and Bavarian revelry. The air is thick with the aromas of roasted chicken and pretzels as traditional bands strike up lively tunes. For the most authentic experience, don a dirndl or lederhosen and learn a dance or two.
