Where does the Oktoberfest happen?
The Oktoberfest is taking place in Munich, Germany, on the famous Theresienwiese. You can see a satellite photo on Google Maps, probably shot end July: the beer tents are already present, while the fun rides and souvenir shops are still missing. If you want to see an overview of the big tents, please scroll down to the end of this page. The Theresienwiese (aka Festwiese) is not a closed-off area. Basically it can be accessed from anywhere. But it is not practical to access it from anywhere, because there are greens and gentle hills, especially at the western side of the fest!
