Oktoberfest – the biggest, most beer-filled party in the world! Everyone has heard of it, everyone wants to see it, but not many people know how - so isn't it great that we've written this guide? Most travel guides to Oktoberfest will focus on the traditions, how it started, the history of Prince Ludwig's wedding and Bavarian agriculture, etc. If you are interested in this sort of thing, then this is not the book for you!
Instead, this guide will tell you the stuff you actually want to know - how to get drunk like a German, to find those empty seats, discover the best tents, sing the Fliegerlied like a champ, and tell if that girl is single from her dirndl. Sound more interesting? Read on, and learn the things you actually need to know!
UPDATE: Thanks to a number of good suggestions, we've been able to update the guide with more info, pictures, and possibly even a bit of history .
