However, if you are interested in the extremely interesting area around the Oktoberfest grounds, then I recommend my guided tour “Around the Oktoberfest”Here we walk from St. Paul's Church to Schwanthalerhöhe, always under the protection of our Bavaria, so to speak. We also like to focus on the actual Oktoberfest events, which often get neglected during the festivities.
