Experience Oktoberfest as a student
Of course, one thing cannot be denied: the traditional Munich festival is not very affordable for students. But with a few tricks you can have the time of your life without playing the broke game afterwards!
A few tips on how you can enjoy the festival:
- Eat meals at home!
- Wait half an hour after each measurement to see if there REALLY needs to be another one. Sometimes they only talk about it after the fact!
- Decide: chocolate kebab OR giant pretzel as a snack
- Try rides on family day. It costs half as much and is easy on the wallet!
- Munich students take note: Wallet saving trick number 1: It's better to talk your girlfriend out of the giant gingerbread heart in advance. It costs a lot of money and tastes much better homemade anyway...
