Transcripts
I'm in Munich, Germany, at the world's largest
folk festival, which draws in millions of visitors
every year – Oktoberfest.
Which is not exactly considered cheap fun.
So I've set myself a limit of 100 euros to see what I can do here with that.
I've got several must-dos on my list:
I want to drink beer, of course, eat a pretzel, try roasted chicken,
ride the Ferris wheel, and check out the nostalgic Oide Wiesn!
I've got a lot planned for today. So let's see what I can do!
It's opening day of Oktoberfest. So the first beer barrel isn't tapped until noon.
But luckily, there are more than just beer tents around here!
It's still quite early, so I'm desperate for some coffee and cake before I start drinking beer.
Let's check out this tent here!
The Cafe Theres' tent is the oldest coffee tent at the Wiesn.
I got myself a cappuccino and their classic pastry Theresienbussal,
which altogether cost me 14 euros.
That's really good.
You'll find plenty of food options at Oktoberfest, and also many stalls selling souvenirs.
I think my Oktoberfest outfit isn't fully complete yet.
I'm going to get myself one of these adorable Lebkuchenherzen.
Aw, this one is cute.
Oh! It's only 6 euros. I'll take this one.
Edible heart-shaped gingerbread cookies, with affectionate messages.
They are typically worn as decorative necklaces
and are often exchanged between couples or friends.
Perfect!
It sounds like the beer is officially being served! I can hear people partying it up inside.
Let's go join them!
Now it's finally time to investigate the reason most people are here – the beer!
Here at the Löwenbräu tent, this costs me 14.50 euros.
I wonder how much it's going to be next year? But for now let's drink up. Prost!
The price of a 1 liter beer, or Mass, this year is between 12.60 and 14.90,
an average of around 6 percent more than last year.
But that doesn't seem to stop people from having a great time.
Of course, I could just spend all my money in this tent and party the day away,
but I'm getting kind of drunk so let's move on.
Wow, what a crazy atmosphere. I'm feeling the alcohol a little bit,
so I'm going to go and look for some food to sober me up.
I'm on the hunt for some roast chicken, which they call Hendl.
Hi, can I get a half Hendl, please?
Yes, of course.
I wanted to get one inside the beer tent, but that would've been almost 15 euros.
Roast chicken is a Bavarian classic. You cannot come to Oktoberfest without eating one.
It's a little bit cheaper to get one outside of the tent. So this cost me 12 euros. Lets try it!
It's hot, but it's really good.
Now that I've got some food to sober me up a little, I'm ready to look for some entertainment.
There are a lot of fun rides out here like the Teufelsrad! I'm not sure yet if I'm going
to ride it myself but watching is a lot of fun too. I just have to pay 5 euros to get inside.
Let' s go.
The Teufelsrad, or Devil's Wheel, is a comical
spinning wheel attraction that has been delighting Oktoberfest visitors for over a century.
And there go all the men.
Now that I'm here, I think I'm going to go for it as well!
I didn't last very long.
Well that was a lot of excitement! I didn't last very long, but I'm really happy I tried it.
Alright, so far I have had breakfast, got a souvenir, drank a beer, ate roast chicken,
took a spin on the Teufelsrad and I have 48.50 euros left. Not bad! So...
Let's ask some other festival-goers what I should do next.
So what should I do with my remaining money? I have 48 euros left.
I mean it depends on what you're up to.
Just having fun. What do you recommend?
I mean, I would always recommend having another beer because the more the merrier!
Just spend your money all on beer! Because it's the best beer you will ever get.
Well I think it's pretty obvious. I think you have to buy beer and one water.
One water?
You should always stay hydrated!
I would actually pay for admission in the old Oktoberfest because there every ride
is just 1.50 euro, and you can do many rides for very little.
I would say you should try the chocolate fruit things. It's like really good.
It's like wow!
I have no idea what you can even do here. I'm walking around aimlessly trying to find a bar.
There's one thing nobody mentioned that I definitely don't want to miss – the Ferriswheel!
A ticket to ride the iconic attraction costs 10 euros.
The Ferris wheel is considered one of the symbols of Oktoberfest.
Riding the Ferris wheel is obviously a must.
I mean just look at this view, you can see the whole grounds from here, it looks crazy!
I'm feeling a little peckish again, so for 7 euros, I'm going for a typical German Bratwurst.
Finally I want to explore the Oide Wiesn, also known as the "historic Oktoberfest."
Now I'm checking out the nostalgic Oide Wiesn.
It's 4 euros entrance, but if you're on a really tight budget,
you can come after 9pm when it's free to enter.
Introduced for the festival's 200th anniversary in 2010, this section evokes the spirit of
what Oktoberfest used to be like. Here you'll find vintage attractions and a much more
relaxed atmosphere.
I also found those chocolate covered fruit that those girls recommended earlier.
I'll try some strawberries and bananas for 5 euros.
That was a good choice.
Another great thing about the Oide Wiesn is that the rides here cost just 1.50 euros!
So of course I've gotta get on one.
I'm a little dizzy now. That was way faster than I expected it to be!
Yeah, I need a second because my brain was just rattling around in my head.
After that adrenaline rush, it's time to enjoy another beer. As you'll see later, the beer
tents at the Oide Wiesn actually have room to dance inside! And I find them to be much
cozier, especially in the beer garden areas.
So I'm ending my time here with another beer, of course, and a big pretzel!
14.20 for the beer and 7.50 for the pretzel, which sets me over the budget just by 70 cents.
So I'd say, it is possible to enjoy Oktoberfest with 100 euros.
Prost!
I managed to do everything I had planned at Oktoberfest – and more.
And we were JUST barely over budget.
But most importantly, I had a blast!
