The Munich Oktoberfest 2024 will begin on September 21, 2024. Millions of visitors will celebrate every day with beer, pretzels and brass bands.
To prevent the festival from turning into a financial disaster for you, you should avoid the following at Oktoberfest:
1. Public urination is prohibited.
Munich is proud of its Oktoberfest, but the city is determined to keep it clean during and after the festivities. That is why urinating in a public place is punishable by a fine of 100 euros on average. Therefore, Oktoberfest visitors should use the toilets, of which there are plenty on the territory.
2. Public sex at Oktoberfest.
Public sex is illegal in Germany. Therefore, depending on the income of the participants, public sex can cost up to 1,000 euros or more.
3. Drunk driving.
The fine ranges from 250 to 1,500 euros, depending on the blood alcohol content and driving style. There is also a risk of being awarded Flensburg points and losing your driving license.
4. Stealing beer mugs and the smoking ban.
Smoking at Oktoberfest is not punishable by a fine. Instead, there is a risk of being refused service or being kicked out of the festival. The situation with beer mugs is different: stealing a beer mug from Oktoberfest can cost you a lot of money.
5. Vomiting in a taxi after Oktoberfest.
You can call a taxi to Oktoberfest. But every guest must be sure that he has not drunk too much. Because depending on the damage, vomiting in a taxi can cost up to 1,500 euros for dry cleaning of the interior.
6. Drones over the Oktoberfest territory.
For technology lovers, it is very tempting to fly a drone over the festival territory. But here you should be careful! This can result in fines of 500 euros and even criminal prosecution, as this is a violation of the Air Traffic Act.
