Where the tents are: The area map of the large Oktoberfest tents is a useful helper.

It’s very easy to get lost on the Theresienwiese, which is 40 hectares in size. There are always several thousand visitors bustling about there. If you want to get your bearings, you can see everything at a glance on the Oktoberfest map (click on the image for large view).

In addition to more than 30 large and small beer tents and more than 150 stalls, carnival rides and souvenir stands, there are lots of other important points of contacts, such as:

• police and fire department

• first aid stations

• bus

• U-Bahn

• S-Bahn

• taxi

• lost property office

• left luggage office

As a general rule: the large beer tents are on the west side of the Theresienwiese and are located parallel to each other in two rows that run from the north to the south and end in the south, level with the Bavaria statue. Most of the carnival rides are located on the east side of the Theresienwiese.
