Hotels near Theresienwiese

Even outside Oktoberfest season (late September to first Sunday in October), Theresienwiese is one of the most interesting places to visit in Munich. This vast open meadow hosts the world's largest folk festival every autumn, drawing over six million visitors to its legendary beer tents. The towering Bavaria Statue (19m bronze figure, Theresienhohe 16) - which can be climbed for views from inside the hollow figure (EUR 5) - is one of Munich's most iconic landmarks. In 2026, the Spring Festival (Fruhlingsfest, late April) offers a smaller, more local version of the Oktoberfest experience.

Pro Tip: If you miss Oktoberfest, the Spring Festival (Fruhlingsfest) in late April has the same beer tent atmosphere at a fraction of the crowds. The Bavaria Statue climb is open year-round and offers a unique perspective over the empty Wiesn.
