Once again, it is not the real Oktoberfest experience and is just for tourists and people who can't be bothered going where the real fun is. If anyone wants to come to Munich and really experience the fest, they need to talk to a guy like me. 10 years of fest experience over here... oops….

It's got nothing to do with the official Oktoberfest. It's only worth going there for the after party when the real tents shut. Trust me.

But who has ever been there knows the hazzle of getting into one of the big tents, not mentioning finding a seat or even an entire table... So last year, my friends and I decided to follow the advice of a local friend and tried an alternative: "Das Wiesnzelt am Stiglmaierplatz". Though it is not directly located at the Oktoberfest, it's just a few minutes away. The tent is located in the historic Löwenbräukeller and offers genuine Wiesn-atmosphere without the usual closing time, all other tents are bound to. There was an awesome band playing, literally around the clock (not like in the tents, where they take more breaks than actually play music). And when we were all kind of fed up with the bavarian ratatata music and up to party, we didn't even have to leave the place. In a seperate room upstairs is an After Party with hip DJ music and cool drinks. the best thing was that we could book our table online in advance, conveniently on their website at www.daswiesnzelt.de. I already made my reservation for this year, as I am definetly coming back! Munich be aware:-) Who doesn’t love the Oktoberfest?

Well it's the 2nd largest beer festival in the world after Munich Oktoberfest but not as crowded. It's more the locals. The main advantage is, you don't have to be there to get into the tents at 9am, as tents won't be full at 11am and they close the doors. At Cannstatter Wasen to me it seems much more relaxed. BTW: Don't miss the "Teufelsrad" at the munich Oktoberfest. “Cannstatter Wasen”, the Stuttgart Oktoberfest is much more “cosy” I would say.

But this is definitely one of the weirdest compliments I´ve ever heard. Might work nevertheless after some Maß ;) well, basically it would rather be sth like: Deine Augen sind so schön wie eine WEIDE (sound and meaning better than "Wiese") VOLLER Kühe".

One of them is on Spain's east coast called Costa Blanca. Many people from all over Spain are coming to the small town Calpe to celebrate this German beer festival about 10 days long! I got to know about it while renting car hire in Alicante and was reading the news from the car rental company. You can read it up at <a href="http://www.victoriacars.com/oktoberfest-calpe/beer-festival-calpe-oktoberfest-2008.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">VictoriaCars</a>. However, they advice you to not to drink & drive! Cheers!
