Munich Oktoberfest 2010 Tour

Oktoberfest is the biggest beerfest in Europe and you need to beer there! Pumpkin Tours offer a Munich Oktoberfest 2010 Tour package that will get you involved.

Every year a huge park in the centre of Munich called the Theresenwiese (locally known as the Wies'n) is transformed into Pumpkin Party central.

The park is packed with rides, shows, stalls and Schnapps.
Not to mention the 14 beerhalls.

Like everything about the Octoberfest the beerhalls are huge seating over 4000 people inside each one and more in the beer gardens.

The Oktoberfest always finishes on the first Sunday in October. It runs for 16 days non-stop. Starting at 12 on Saturday September 20 and finishing on Sunday October 5.

It is free to enter the fest grounds and beerhalls - unfortunately you have to pay for your beer!

Pumpkin Tours are legendary fun and you can't have much more fun than at the Oktoberfest!

Due to huge demand we have managed to put together another wonderful 7 day trip for you this year.
Don't miss it!
