Default Oktoberfest solo?

Hi folks,

So I booked a flight to Munich and a hostel room for next weekend and Im having second thoughts. Is this such a good idea to go alone? I've always wanted to go but it is very expensive and Ive been down and out lately and want to make sure it is a good time!

Has anyone gone to Oktoberfest solo and do you have any tips?

Thanks so much!

Erin

I haven't done it but if you're staying in a hostel you wont have any trouble meeting people to hang out with. I can't imagine anyone not having an awesome time.

I'm extremely jealous

Word from the wisened: drink spiking does happen at Oktoberfest and it aint pleasant, be a little careful who u get too chummy with. (in saying all this i was travelling with a guy mate not even alone and both ours got spiked) Sorry to be a travel grinch just it really ruined my experienece of oktoberfest and was something we had been told hardly occured there at all.
Lol apart from the a&e stint and the ten hours i dont remember - what i do remember was bloody awesome so im sure ull have a great time!
