Europe’s 2nd largest beer fest, the Stuttgart Beer Festival (also referred to as Cannstatter Volksfest) attracts over 4 million thirsty people a year putting it almost on par with Oktoberfest.

It’s an incredible event and an absolute hidden gem – virtually no tourists visit and few people outside of Germany have ever heard of it, making it a truly unique experience to visit.

Best of all, it runs around the same time as Oktoberfest, ending about 1 week later in nearby Stuttgart. So if you’re extra thirsty, you can do both!

All prices are based on twin-share. Single & triple room accommodation available on request. View www.xe.com for conversion rates to your currency. Want to stay longer or perhaps these dates don’t suit? Depending on availability we can customize our packages to suit your requirements.
