Hope you aren't planning on going this year.

Yeah, this. I'd suggest heading to Wurstfest in New Braunfels first. Otherwise you'll be in a country with a million or so extra homeless people.

Me and my friends did 2 weeks in Europe and Oktoberfest in munich was one of our stops in 2010. Oktoberfest was pretty fun and a great experience. The Germans can really put down the beer. The dedicated pass out hill behind the tents is pretty funny to see in person. Go early and grab a table be because they fill up fast, at least at the hofbrau tent they did. I'd also suggest go to dachau concentration camp while in the city, it's a short train ride away. We also went to Amsterdam, Paris and Prague.

Went to Oktoberfest last year and it was great. I recommend reserving a table versus trying to find a spot to squeeze in. You are stuck with bad time of the day or poor locations. Takes some of the pressure off knowing you have a spot waiting for you. I found a reservation on eBay Germany and it included food and beer vouchers. Ended up being a pretty good deal.

Reserving a table puts you amongst the hardcore Germans too. Tell them you are from Texas and love Bavaria. They are Bavarian first, German second just like we are Texans first, Americans second.

Get the mass transit app on your phone (about $75 Euro?) and use the hell out of the subways, trains, and buses to get around. One of the subways drops you right at the entrance.

I go every year and I absolutely love it. The beer they serve you isn't what you normally find here, I got so wasted last year. The food, the people, the beer, the kiosks, and the entertainment are all incredible.

If you are on the west side of 360 T&P Tavern does a pretty decent Oktoberfest party. Well for that matter so does Rahr but it gets CROWDED!
