It\u2019s that time of year again! Oktoberfest started last Saturday and will run till the third of October. Following this year\u2019s events around the world, Oktoberfest has enhanced its safety procedures to make sure that all visitors are in a safe environment. I\u2019ve listed the changes below (don\u2019t worry, there aren\u2019t that many!) and if you want to know more about Oktoberfest in general then take a look at these older posts here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Das Oktoberfest ist Umz\u00e4unt<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The entire Oktoberfest is surrounded by a fence this year. The fence is there to stop the premises from overfilling, and also to control who goes in. The fence has around twelve exists\/entrances and in case of an emergency it can be dismantled in less than a minute. The entry however, is still free!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rucks\u00e4cken sind verboten<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Backpacks and any large bags that have a capacity larger than three litres are banned from Oktoberfest this year. Police will check at all entrances as you enter and if you have a small bag you could also be searched. For this reason you\u00a0can be waiting times to get into Oktoberfest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kinderwagen sind verboten<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Prams are banned at Oktoberfest at specific times; this actually came into action last year as when the festival is at peak time the prams take up too much space. You aren\u2019t allowed to take a pram\u00a0with you on all Saturdays and any day after 6pm.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An old photo of me at Oktoberfest in 2013! Own photo.<\/p><\/div>\n

Don\u2019t be put off by these new changes,\u00a0die Wiesn<\/strong> is still as fun\u00a0as it is every year! If you are visiting this year or have been in the previous years then let me know by writing it in the comments below.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading,<\/p>\n

Prost!<\/strong><\/p>\n
