European Oktoberfest Tour with Bulgaria Air direct flights

Autumn came quickly, and with it came the time for one of the world's most famous and beloved festivals, which every year brings together thousands of fans of good beer and unforgettable experiences. Oktoberfest has already kicked off, and with it our desire to travel is growing.

National carrier Bulgaria Air offers direct flights to some of Europe's most spectacular destinations, where you can enjoy the festival first-hand and treat yourself to time with your family and friends. Berlin, Prague, Brussels, London, Zurich and Frankfurt are the locations where the festivities are currently taking place. Each city holds magic and hundreds of sights to add to the exciting journey. If you're the kind of person who wants to experience Oktoberfest, Bulgaria Air has prepared a quick guide to where and until when you can do it.

Berlin

Cold festival beers, fruity brandy, delicious pretzels, stunning costumes and plenty of music await visitors at an Oktoberfest in Germany's capital, where festivities began on September 21 and will continue until October 29. Unlike Munich's hosting of the original Oktoberfest, Berlin's version of the festival is spread across various venues in the city. Popular venues include Kurt-Schumacher-Damm, Alexanderplatz, Spandau and Spreewiesn. Berlin can be reached by direct flight on Bulgaria Air three times a week – on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Frankfurt

The largest city in the German state of Hesse can also offer you one of the most authentic and unforgettable Oktoberfest experiences. Frankfurt has been hosting the festival for nearly 15 years now. Its first edition took place in 2007, and since then, interest has grown more and more each time. Around 60,000 people visit the Oktobefest festival in Frankfurt in just 4 weeks. This year's festivities began on September 18 and will continue until October 13, so you still have time to book your direct Bulgaria Air flight to Frankfurt and experience the beer fiesta.

Prague 

The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture and has been held since 1810. With this in mind, it is not surprising that in October in Prague you can enjoy many different events related to the beer festival. Throughout the month you can find various festivities in the Czech capital, with plenty of entertainment, music concerts, bratwursts, pretzels and generously pouring beer – all dedicated to Oktoberfest. "Bulgaria Air flies direct to Prague four times a week, and travellers can choose from convenient morning flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, as well as an afternoon flight on Sundays.

London

A slightly more unconventional, but equally tempting Oktoberfest offering, is London. If you want to combine the festival vibe with sightseeing and immersing yourself in English culture, London in October is the perfect choice for you. In the English capital, you can choose from countless Oktoberfest parties all over the city. The national carrier's flights to London operate three times a week, weekdays and weekends, with the option to quickly arrange a short getaway to the Island at the weekend.

Zurich

They're crazy, the people of Zurich! That's what the Bavarians must have thought. Setting up a beer tent in the middle of the main hall of Switzerland's biggest train station and celebrating their own Oktoberfest? - That's how the organisers of Oktoberfest in Zurich tell the story on their website about the festival they celebrate every year with the beer festival. This year it started on 26 September and will run until 19 October. You can book your direct flight with Bulgaria Air to Zurich and be part of the exciting experience.

Brussels

True beer appreciators know that if anyone can measure up to German beer, it's Belgian beer. While there are no special events dedicated to Oktoberfest, Brussels is a must-visit destination for amber drinkers. Just a few days ago, the famous Belgian National Beer Weekend came to an end, where visitors had the opportunity to taste over 500 beers from more than 50 breweries in the country. Having said that, you can't miss Brussels as a must-visit destination during your European beer tour. Bulgaria Air flights to Brussels operate with a choice of four afternoon flights during the week, providing easy options for different length holidays in Belgium.

The ticket price includes free check-in, hand luggage up to 10 kg, together with a handbag or laptop bag. Passengers who choose to fly in Economy Class receive a free delicious hot sandwich and beverage of choice, while Business Class passengers can enjoy a varied and very tasty 4-course menu. Everyone can make their journey more spacious and delicious by taking advantage of the Upgrade to Business Class service from 24 hours to 40 minutes before the flight.
