Full description
The Beer & Oktoberfest Museum occupies a restored 14th-century townhouse in the old town and explores the history of Munich brewing and the Oktoberfest festival. Visitors describe it as quick but enjoyable, with a low entrance fee, and recommend finishing in the taproom, where tastings and drinks are served; one reviewer praised a guided beer tasting as informative and funny.
The building has many stairs, so it is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. About an hour is enough, and solo travellers report feeling comfortable at the bar.

Quick, but enjoyable. Just a few Euro, so definitely worth visiting. Make sure to stop in the taproom to try a few beers as well.
