Between the colorful fall foliage landscapes, brisk weather, pumpkin flavors, and autumn ales, what’s not to like? Many destinations are even prettier during the fall, especially cities in Europe (ahem…Munich).
This year, Oktoberfest will take place from September 4th-October 3rd.
If you were thinking of attending Oktoberfest this year, you can’t really do so at the last minute. Though we appreciate your boldness and spontaneity, here’s why you’re going to want to start planning for Oktoberfest now:
Tour Sign-Ups Are Now

In fact, four months before is the ideal time to start making your plans. Spaces will start to get filled up and the more you plan ahead of time, the less you can stress later.

If you’re interested in doing Oktoberfest but you may also want to visit other places in Europe while you’re there, you’re going to need some time to think about it. Trying to plan a huge trip at the last minute isn’t ideal. You may need to gather your tour buddies and see the options.
Nowadays, there are so many Oktoberfest tours to choose from. And, while choices are a good thing, they also make decision-making a little more difficult. If you start planning now, you’ll be able to weigh your options, change your mind a few times, then finally book the right tour for you!
