TOP BEER TENTS
Here is our selection of the Wiesn's finest marquees:
»
Hippodrom
(
www.hippodrom-oktoberfest.de
)
Seating 3200 inside, this popular tent at-
tracts a young crowd and the odd German celebrity. Spatenbräu and Löwenbräu beers and
top-notch Bavarian food, plus lots of gobsmackingly pricey champagne.
»
Hofbräu-Festzelt
(
www.hb-festzelt.de
) Including the beer garden and standing room,
this tent can accommodate almost 10,000 drinkers. A favourite among English-speaking
visitors.
»
Schottenhamel
(
www.festzelt.schottenhamel.de
)
Where Munich's mayor kicks off the
whole caboodle with a little mallet.
»
Käfers Wiesen Schänke
Exellent food, longer opening hours (to 12.30am) and Paulaner
beer make this a popular tent with partying celebs and wannabes.
»
Glöckle Wirt
(
www.gloeckle-wirt.de
)
If you fancy something a bit different, this is one
of the most attractive, most intimate and the smallest of the beer tents, bedecked with an-
tiques and knick-knacks of yesteryear.
