Having been to the Oktoberfest, it is true that nowhere can rival the beerhalls of Munich. Not only do the tent on the Theresienwiese never run dry of beer, but teh beer cellars sell some excellent beers at not very out of the way prices. A Maß - 1 litre will set you back about 11DM (GBP 3.75) and the beer is infinitely superior to anything you get on draught in Britain, bar in a few very specialist bars. The atmosphere is friendly, although there are a few exceptions. Waiters and waitresses may come across as a bit unfriendly, but they are so used to seeing drunks and so on that it is understandable. For travel connections there are trains to all over mainland Europe from the Hauptbahnhof, and the airport is very well connected by public transport links to the city, which is just as well, as it is tucked away to the North. The tube is easy to use, clean and runs very efficiently and Munich is great for a weekend break - and not just for the Oktoberfest.
