oktoberfest_berlin_festzelt

Beer and Germany belong together, and Berlin has created a great Oktoberfest held annually at Zentral Festplatz am Kurt-Schumacher-Damm near Tegel Airport.

It can not be compared with the one in Munich, but still fun to join if you are in Berlin in early October or late September.

Roundabouts, food and fortune

Around the place there are plenty of stalls with food, rides and assorted pinwheel.

If you’re lucky, you get to wear on a naturally big giraffe rest of the evening, so be careful.

Party tent

The tent is 1600 square meters and it gets pretty busy when it becomes full.

The party closing at midnight in the weekend and an hour earlier on weekdays.

The entrance fee also varies.

Not a lot of people in the tent on the weekdays. So if you want to see the big party, it’s best to come on Fridays and Saturdays.

Keep track of when the last bus goes back if you plan to be there the whole evening, otherwise it’s a taxi that apply.

Oktoberfest at Alexanderplatz

There is is an Oktoberfest beer garden cottage and “Biergarten” at Alexanderplatz.

A good option if you don’t want to go so far from center.

Usually at same dates but ends one week earlier than the main oktoberfest at the central festplatz.

Getting to the venue

Festival site is located well outside the city center and can be difficult to find at first try.

U 7 (metro line 7) to Jakob-Kaiser-Platz and then one of the buses X21, M21 or 128.

Alternatively U 6 to Kurt-Schumacher-Platz
and from there the same buses. ( Source: http://berliner-festplatz.de )

Stay close to the party

If you want to live nearest possible to the Oktoberfest, Mercure Airport Hotel Berlin Tegel is right across the road of the “Zentraler Festplatz”.

Stay in Central Berlin

Personal first choice

Park Inn Hotel, (using it every time now when in Berlin). It’s very central at Alexander Platz and close to everything by the Metro and Underground.

One of the most fancy

NHOW Hotel Berlin,

A five-star design hotel with nice bright colors and shapes everywhere. Located 25 minute walk from Frankfurter Tor.

The easiest way to the festival from here is to take the tram from Warschauer Straße.
