Munich Safety Tips

  • If you do go to Oktoberfest, try not to lose your group. As it gets so packed, it’s easy to look away for a moment and then be completely lost. Make sure you have a charged mobile phone along with other members of the group so you can contact each other, just in case.
  • If you get caught stealing a mug from Oktoberfest, it could turn out very expensive for you. You can always buy your own at one of the souvenir stands.
  • If you’re planning on driving around, make sure you know where you’ll park. Parking can be troublesome to say the least.
  • Like all big cities, Munich can be a little expensive if you’re not careful. Keep an eye on what you’re spending.
