Sure you should! As Cassidym wrote the Oktoberfest is only in one part of the city. Still Munichīs quite crowded during those 16 days, because there are a lot of tourists, but itīs not too bad. Despites its name the Oktoberfest -or "Wiesn" as we Bavarian call it - already starts on the last weekend in September.
