I think that hanging with several hundred thousand drunk people (when I don't drink beer) would just be a special kind of hell. A hell that we've had to pay a freaking fortune for. We've been to the one in KZ though, and that's as close as we'll get I think.<br /><br />Loving your travel tips though! Thanks for listing them. :-)Travel Truth 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/08455468742633571326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277709272926504102.post-29315804481229188442013-08-08T08:55:21.284+02:002013-08-08T08:55:21.284+02:00You've never been to Oktoberfest in Munich??? ...You've never been to Oktoberfest in Munich??? I'm going for the 3rd time this year. So, a few secrets:<br />- there is also a bus to Munich from Konstanz (not sure if it stops in R.) It's cheaper than the train and takes about 3.5 hours. http://meinfernbus.de/ or https://www.deinbus.de/ (2 different companies offering similar services)<br />- if you have a Swissrail halbtax or abo card, you can book your train journey starting in Switzerland (e.g. Kreuzlingen) and you save 25% on the DE portion because it's a "cross-border" journey. We do this whenever possible since we live 5 seconds from the border anyway.<br />- we book accomodations slightly out of town, 1 or 2 stops out on the train. (Admittedly, last time, we were both incapable of reading the train schedule when it was time to go).<br /><br />That said, I would actually rather drink a cocktail than a beer...Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17816939240423975424noreply@blogger.com
