SINGAPORE – Agoda.com, Asia’s global hotel booking site and part of Nasdaq-listed Priceline Group (Nasdaq: PCLN), today announced special deals for Munich hotels just in time for Oktoberfest.

Held since 1810, Oktoberfest is the world’s biggest fair, with more than 6 million people attending each year. A lively celebration of Bavarian culture, for 17 days the festival brings music, beer tents, carnival rides, and hearty traditional cuisine to the central Munich area of Theresienwiese.

This year, Oktoberfest features 14 tents of drinking, dining, and entertainment. Each tent offers visitors a different experience – some are small, intimate affairs with a relaxed ambience, while some are large bustling beer halls with brass bands and a lively party atmosphere. To promote family-friendliness and make the festival fun for guests of all ages, all tents are smoke-free and loud party music is limited to evenings after 6:00 pm.

The most famous highlight of Oktoberfest is undoubtedly the beer. All beers must be produced within Munich and all the most famous local beers are represented, including Löwenbräu, Augustiner, and Hofbräu. Another highlight is the food, with delicious Bavarian specialties sold in every tent. Biergarten favorites include pretzels with obatzda, a soft cheese dish, a myriad of types of wurst (sausage), pork knuckle, veal, and roast chicken.

Oktoberfest begins officially on September 17 this year. The opening ceremony begins with a parade of thousands of costumed Bavarians through the streets of Munich to the festival site before the mayor taps on a beer keg to launch celebrations. Over the course of the festival, visitors will consume more than 7 million liters of beer, 89,000 liters of wine, and more than 70,000 pork knuckles.

Aside from beer halls and brass bands, Munich offers countless opportunities for visitors to enjoy Bavarian culture. Munich is considered one of the world’s most livable cities, with a mix of medieval architecture, modern infrastructure, and beautiful parks.
