Oktoberfest: City of Munich warns of large crowds

At the final spurt of the Oktoberfest, the city of Munich is warning visitors of the large crowds on the grounds. “There are a lot of guests at the Oktoberfest right now, please come back at a later date,” the city wrote on Instagram in the afternoon.

The two main entrances could be closed shortly, said a city spokeswoman. Guests should then use the side entrances. Last Saturday there was already a large crowd at times and the city temporarily closed the entrances. However, the area only became so full at a later date.

Oktoberfest continues until Sunday. It is considered the largest folk festival in the world.
