I'm going to Oktoberfest

[Gemini girl]

Hi everyone!
Yes, I know it's early to start thinking about, but I can't help getting super excited! We (about 8 of us) plan on going to Switzerland and Austria as well - has anyone been there and can give me some tips on what are the "must see's"? thanks!

How fun!!! I have been 3x and had a blast every time! Let me know where you are planning to travel and I would be more than happy to share any info I can!

In Austria's Restaurants, Autobahn Reststops, Public Restrooms etc. they usually charge women for using the bathroom. They have little locks, similar to a bubblegum machine, on the toilet doors and you have to pay before it opens.

Other than that, everthing will be interesting. If you go to the Octoberfest in Munich and want a seat in one of the big tents, get there early or make reservations. During that time there aren't any walk-in hotelrooms available either. We slept in our car in a parking garage before (a lot of people are doing that, some even sleep in a tent down there).
