Plan Oktoberfest without losing it in the group chat. Wiesn Guide turns "who is going where, and when?" into one plan everybody can see. One person creates the trip and shares a code; everyone else joins — free, no account needed. ● ONE PLAN THE WHOLE GROUP SHARES Tell the app how many you are, what you are into and what it may cost. You get a day plan with times, a meeting point, a tent, food and an evening. Plans fall apart — replan the day and everyone sees the new version straight away. ● THE WHOLE WIESN ON ONE MAP 51 pins across the Theresienwiese: the 14 large festival tents, U-Bahn exits, toilets, first-aid posts, water fountains, rides and the Bavaria statue. Every place, every tent detail, your plan, the Bible and SOS live on the device and need no signal — because nobody has reception inside a packed tent. ● ALL 35 TENTS, INCLUDING THE SMALL ONES The 14 large tents with their brewery, music, kitchen and character. Plus all 21 kleine Festzelte with street and neighbouring tent — often the better half of Oktoberfest: easier to get into, better food, and you can actually hear the person opposite you. ● THE WIESN BIBLE What Oktoberfest actually is, past the cliché: how to wear Tracht properly and what the dirndl bow means. Brass bands and when each song lands. Maßkrugstemmen, Nageln, Fingerhakeln and Schafkopf. Food from Steckerlfisch to Obatzda to Kaiserschmarrn. The best photo spots, table reservations, opening times, and how to get home at the end of the night. ● SOS — ALWAYS FREE First-aid posts, emergency numbers, lost property, the meeting point for lost people, and "where am I?" by GPS. Behind no paywall, because an emergency does not have one. ● WHAT COSTS WHAT Free: the whole map, SOS, the tent guide, the survival tips, the getting-home guide, the first day of your plan and two replans. Joining someone's group is always free. Pro: every day of your trip and unlimited replans. Group Pro unlocks the whole trip rather than the buyer — one person pays, the group is in. Group XL does the same for up to 20 people. Oktoberfest 2026: 19 September to 4 October, Theresienwiese, Munich. Enjoy it responsibly. The app plans your day — you set your own pace.
