Friday
welcome to the beer halls!
Oktoberfest is a rite of passage for everyone studying abroad in Europe, and we’ve taken care of everything so you can kick back and enjoy Bavarian culture at its prime. Throw on your lederhosen and dirndls, we’ve got a massive welcome party waiting for you at our favorite beer hall. You’ll be tossing back beer, singing songs, and dancing on tables through the night!
Saturday
prost!
On Saturday you’ll have a chance to refuel with a much-needed breakfast and hydrate before we hit the halls again. We’ve reserved a prime table for you and your fellow Okiefest partiers so you can relax and soak in the atmosphere. You’ll spend the day raising steins, tasting all sorts of hearty German food, and taking a spin on rides at the carnival before partying as long as you can hold out.
Sunday
one last hoorah!
Most travelers will be heading home on Sunday. If that’s your plan, refuel with delicious breakfast before you go. If you’re sticking around with us, check out the sights you missed while you were enjoying Oktoberfest, like St. Peter’s Church or the view from the town hall clock tower. We’ll also be covering bike rentals if you want to see the city at a faster pace. Ready to hit the coffeeshops in Amsterdam?
