Packed Mag: A Backpackers’ Guide To The Oktoberfest
‘Packed Magazine’ is Europe’s free travel magazine for backpackers, independent- and budget-travellers.
Each edition, published every two months, is full to bursting with cool travel articles and photographs, backpacking ideas, festival news and more.
If you’re headed for the Munich Oktoberfest, or just curious as to what all the fuss is about, get your hands on their latest issue and skip straight to page 20: Cheers & Biers – A Backpackers’ Guide to the Oktoberfest’.
When you’re done you’ll know why you shouldn’t wear underwear in the ‘Pig Pen’, what the best strategy is for grabbing a seat on opening day and how to ‘prost’ without breaking your beermug into injury-causing pieces. Useful stuff.
Plus, if you’ve ever wondered what to do when faced with a naked German (it could happen), flip back to page 6 and read ‘Naked Germany: Etiquette’ (and yes, of course there are nudie photographs for what would an article like that be without pictures). Ahem.
Packed magazine is up for grabs at over 100 distribution partners, such as Europe’s best hostels, or you can download it here.
