Tips in this Tour:

	Book accommodations early and expect to pay premium rates. Try to stay in the Hauptbahnhof / Marienplatz area as this makes most shops and restaurants within walking distance.
	Get to the Oktoberfest early. Walk around and see everything; make sure you get the full Oktoberfest experience. Entry is free so you can visit more than once.
	Be courteous to the staff. Tip your waitress and your beer will be served more quickly. Respect security. Tip the cleaner at the entrance to the toilets. A few cents is worth it, as the toilets are very clean.
	Make sure you eat! Oktoberfest beer is very strong and without eating you will not last the day.
	If the weather is good, enjoy the whole Munich atmosphere and visit some beer gardens. This is a true reflection of the Munich way of life.
