Making reservations from the United States

We have a group of (4) going to Octoberfest. What is the best way to make a reservation now? We are from the United States and do not speak German. It is our first trip. I look forward to any help you could provide. Thank you.

Hi Janice,

sorry to tell you, but the minimum number for Oktoberfest reservations is 10 persons (one table). Usually reservations are done during January and February, therefore you'd be late anyways.

But don't despair, because you don't necessarily need a reservation.

With 4 2 persons, you can get into any beer tent and find a space at the table with other people, if you consider a few things:

- go on weekdays! Weekends and especially Saturdays the beer tents are packed and usually don't let any more people inside

- go early, way before 4 p.m! Many tables are reserved after 4 p.m., so you can sit there until the "owners" arrive

- once you're inside the tent, you have already passed the biggest challenge, now you can freely walk around and search for a place to sit down

Good luck and have fun!
