The best free &
paid walking tours

The intense summer heat has finally cooled off, leaving us with that gorgeous, crisp autumn breeze. It’s hands down one of the best times of the year to wander around our favorite city, grab a warm pastel de nata, and just soak in the relaxed vibe. Whether you're a local or just visiting, October 2026 is shaping up to be an amazing month.

The 191st Oktoberfest runs from September 19 to October 4, 2026, bringing vast crowds to the Theresienwiese. Securing a seat inside the beer tents on a busy Friday or Saturday requires knowing exactly when to arrive and which bag sizes are permitted at security. Beyond the brass bands and roast chicken, navigating Munich during the festival demands a practical grasp of transport routes, cash-only customs, and local etiquette.

October might just be one of the best months to be in London. The summer crowds begin to thin, the parks turn gold, and the city settles into autumn — but there’s no shortage of things going on. This month brings film and literature festivals, live music, free exhibitions, Oktoberfest beer and, as Halloween approaches, more than a few ghosts lurking on the streets.
