To Barcelona from Munich and all of Bavaria comes the annual celebration of Oktoberfest, from October 3 to 13 in the Fira de Barcelona's Plaça de Univers... and it's free in! This beer festival highlights Bavarian traditions, and you'll be able to try special brews, such as the Paulaner made specially for the original Oktoberfest in Munich, and typical German dishes such as sausages, pretzels, potato salad and ham hock. We recommend you book a table via their website, as it's a free event but space is limited.
In addition to all the glorious food and drink, don't miss the official opening ceremony (Thu 3, 6.30pm), cultural activities such as the traditional Bavarian dress contest, and live music.
