Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Munich

• The Löwenbräukeller sits directly on Stiglmaierplatz and is easy to reach by subway
• Traditional Bavarian outfits such as dirndls or lederhosen are popular but not required
• Since strong beer is noticeably more potent than regular beer, a solid meal from the Bavarian kitchen is a good idea beforehand
• Booking ahead is recommended for the busiest evenings

Starkbierfest at Nockherberg

Munich's best known strong beer festival takes place at the Nockherberg in the Paulaner festival hall. For 2027, it is scheduled from February 26 to March 21. The highlight is the tapping of the Salvator beer along with the famous Derblecken speech, in which a comedian pokes satirical fun at Bavarian politicians.

Starkbierfest at Augustiner Keller

The Augustiner Keller on Arnulfstraße also holds its own strong beer festival during Lent, centered on its Maximator beer. Celebrations take place in parallel in the large festival hall and the historic vaulted cellar, accompanied by Bavarian brass music and live bands also familiar from Oktoberfest.
