Special Brew in Hannover
Although Oktoberfest’s origins are from Germany’s Bavarian region, the beer festival is also celebrated in other places across the country. Hannover is a hot spot because of its Hannoverse party beer which is brewed in the region but only available during Oktoberfest. The festivities take place on the Schützenplatz, where you will find plenty of beer stands and marquees. What’s brewed in Hannover, stays in Hannover!

Ich bin ‘Beerliner’, Berlin
If you want to avoid the masses, a visit to one of the smaller beer festivals like the one in Berlin is a great alternative. Most of the parties take place in the city centre, that puts up Oktoberfest decorations and some fairground attractions. Don’t miss downing a litre or two at the Alexanderplatz and attend the big beer party organized on the Kurt-Schumacher-Damm. Stay in an artsy Berlin B&B for added atmosphere.
