During the 187th Oktoberfest, all visitors should not wear masks and follow the distance. But experts still called on all beer lovers to exercise caution. Although many residents of Germany and tourists were waiting for this beer holiday, the local police noted that there were no people on the first day of the great influx of people. That is, it was, but this number is smaller than always during opening. Most likely, it is due to the rainy and cold weather in Munich.
It is worth noting that the attendance of the beer festival Oktoberfest-2022 can affect high prices. For example, a liter mug of beer now costs 16% more than 2 years ago: from 12. 60 to 13. 18 euros. Visitors spent an average of 1 billion euros before the coronavirus pandemic on each Oktoberfest. But for this money, they bought not only beer and sausages. This amount also includes hotel accommodation, public transport and taxi tickets, souvenir buying and other entertainment.
"Oktoberfest is the most significant folk holiday in the world, and it will last until October 3," says Prime Minister Bavaria Marcus Zeder. As focus has already wrote, an alternative Oktoberfest began last year in Munich. The Wirtshauswies beer festival also opened these days and lasted until October 3. But about 50 local restaurants participated in it. As focus wrote, in 2019 at Oktoberfest it was possible to buy a mug of beer at a price of 10. 80 to 11. 80 euros.
