Say goodbye to the summer heat and slip into your lederhosen, because Munich’s biggest traditional festival, Oktoberfest, is back.

This autumn, it is time for bratwurst, German beer and hearty Bavarian fare. These are the best places in Dubai to raise a stein or two in true German style and enjoy traditional Bavarian food.

Because when Oktoberfest and traditional oompah music are involved, celebrations take on a whole new meaning.
