It opens at 10 a.m. By 11 a.m. all of the tents are full. The tents seem to be reserved exclusively for the locals or at least German people generally. I have never seen a table of Americans drinking beer. Oktoberfest is "family friendly" during the day and for the most part during the evening. You will more likely than not, see a few intoxicated/roudy people in the late evenings. The place closes down at midnight. Munich is our favorite city. Extremely clean and very little crime. I lived not far from Munchen for three years and have yet to witness any crime. On our last trip, we noticed five German policemen walking together and all were carrying submachine guns. Now THAT is a deterrent. The Oktoberfest in Munich is everything it is advertised to be. I have been four times. It opens at 10 a.m. By 11 a.m. all of the tents are full.
