The Best Time to Go

In 2023, 60% of our stags that went to Munich visited between April and June.

And while this means they missed Oktoberfest, it's a great time to go because the weather's picking up (so you can enjoy all those incredible beer gardens), plus you won't be affected by the soaring prices of the summer holidays.

However, if you did decide to bite the weather bullet and head over in October for the world's biggest party, we wouldn't blame you!

Munich is a top place to visit all year round, so whenever you go, you'll have a top time.

How Long Do People Go For?

55% of stags went for 3 days (2 nights) in 2023 which is ideal.

If you're flying somewhere, you don't want to stay for less than 3 days as you simply won't have time to do anything.

2 nights (or more) gives you time to check out its finest beers and cracking atmosphere, as well as getting stuck into all the activities.

Why do we encourage people to book early?

Well, the earlier you book...

• The cheaper things tend to be
• The more availability there tends to be
• The longer you have to plan the smaller details (like just how you're going to prank the groom)
