I know part of this should be in the bragging thread! Another couple and my DH and I are going to Munich at Oktoberfest. We haven’t been to Germany in 100 years; they’ve never been. Today we are trying to understand the German translations for how / when/ why to get reservations at the tents. We can’t figure it out.

Anyone have advice for steering through the fair? Do we really NEED reservations? Some tents say groups larger than 8 only. How crowded is it? I am not a crowd happy person.

We got a great apartment some distance away, but still on the subway. So that isn’t a worry. We will be there a week, only part of which is going to be during the festival. So any other DO NOT miss things we should write down?

Thanks in advance.
