Can kids enter Oktoberfest?

Yes, Oktoberfest is an all-ages event and plenty of families bring their children along. The general precautions should be taken, of course, like keeping young children close by you at all times. On busy days, you may be asked to leave your stroller in the luggage area for the price of $3.25 (€3).

What is the best way to get from Vienna to Munich?

The best way depends on your budget and travel timeline, but you can get to Munich by bus, train, or car. You can even take a flight, but it is not the most cost-effective once you account for airport security and transportation to and from the airport.
