Carry small change
Many tents favor cash for food and souvenirs; have coins and small bills for faster service.
Arrive early for seats
If you don’t reserve a table, arrive before midday to claim benches—evenings fill fast.
Dress for movement
Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes and a light layer; tent floors and paths can be uneven and muddy.
Plan your transit
Use S-Bahn/U-Bahn to avoid parking and long taxi waits; stations near Theresienwiese get busy after events.
Comfortable walking shoes
Festival grounds are large and often wet; sturdy shoes keep you comfortable all day.
