Oktoberfest 2025 Confirms Beer Prices, Costs and Key Visitor Guidance Ahead of Sept. 20 Opening

Rising prices push budgets higher, with free water points or the Oide Wiesn offering modest relief.

Overview

  • The 190th Oktoberfest runs September 20 to October 5 on Munich’s Theresienwiese.
  • A liter of beer ranges from €14.50 to €15.80 depending on the tent, with most large halls around €15.40; Augustiner charges €14.50 and Münchner Stubn tops the list at €15.80.
  • Table reservations are officially free yet typically require minimum consumption, often two Maß and a half chicken per person, taking an 8–10 seat table to roughly €350–€450.
  • Typical on-site prices include €12–€15 for a half chicken, €10–€13 for major rides and about €4–€5 for children’s attractions, with soft drinks also priced in the double digits per liter.
  • Ten public fountains provide free tap water for refills, pre-filled bottles are barred from tents, and the quieter Oide Wiesn charges about €4 entry with free admission for children up to 14.
