Munich Travel Forum

Is it possible to get a taxi from Munich to St Moritz in Switzerland and will the price be realistic? I have heard that it can be driven in 3-4 hours but I am not a driver. Also the train is not realistic to me due to the time it takes and the number of changes. Advice much appreciated :)

Good Day VTs

Hi,

A group of 8 of us has booked travel and accomodation in Munich for Oktoberfest on the weekend of 3-5th October.

All of the tents seem to be fully booked. For any of you who have been before I would love to know:

- can you can queue up for tickets?
- are there tent ticket touts and are the prices ridiculous?
- are there any tents that you can get in without a ticket?

We are considering cancelling our flights if we aren't going to be able to get in anywhere, would be like a kid with nose prossed up against sweetie shop if we can't get in there, but all REALLY want to go.

Any tips most appreciated.

Myself and some other esteemed Gents have arranged to head up to the start of Oktoberfest for a few nights via Zurich. The primary objective will be the drink ,hence all we are really looking for is somewhere to sleep when the tents, pubs and clubs are closed.

Can anyone recommend a campsite or cheap hostel?


Also, anyone know how long it takes to get from Zurich to Munich by train?

Hello,

There are 4 of us that will be attending Oktoberfest on Sept 23rd & Sept 24th. Reservations at most beer tents are quickly filling up, and require 6-10 people (depends on the beer tent). Also, all evening reservations are full.

My questions are as follows:

1. Does anyone have room for 4 in an evening reservation?
2. Does anyone know how I can get a reservation for an evening?
3. What are the best tents to go to?

and I just want to thank everyone for all the help in planning a great trip.

What a beautiful city with friendly people. We were very impressed with the transportation system. We even took trains to Salzburg for a day and also to Neuschwanstein. We also did a four hour bike tour which was in English. That was a lot of fun! We spent a lot of time at the Market and saw Nymphenburg Castle and the Olympicpark among other things.

I will be in Munich for work for three days startng this Saturday, when I am on my own till evening.
I want to visit both Dachau and Viktualienmarkt. But considering I will be located in Schwabing and arrive at my hotel only by 12-12.30 will i be possible to isit both the places, also because its a Saturday.
I was wanting to go to Dachau first and try my luck to catch the 1.30 pm guided tour which will get over by 3.30 or so. Will the market be open at that time of the day?
Please suggest a feasible plan.
Also, how much wud a cab to Dachau cost, approximately?
Thanks in anticipation.

I am trying to take the City Night Line Train 318 from Munich to Amsterdam the night of April 26. However, I cannot for the LIFE of me figure out how to buy or reserve a ticket! It's horrible.

A group of us are going to italy for vacation next month. My daughter and her friend are staying on after we come home. They will go to Munich for a few days from venice
then will return to Rome to fly back to USA.
Should they book train reservations from Venice-Munich-Rome before we leave or should they do that when we arrive in Italy. what would be the best and most economical way for them to do this?
thanks, jeannie
