Day 1
ARRIVAL
Fly into Berlin Brandenburg Airport and make your own way to your accommodation in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. Your accommodation details are in the pre-trip pack sent one month before departure. If you want to arrive early, you'll have plenty of time to book additional nights. Spend the afternoon getting acquainted with the neighbourhood. By evening the group assembles for the welcome dinner in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. This is your first proper taste of Berlin, authentic German food, cold beers and the first time the whole crew is in the same room. Your Berlin host Patryk will be there to welcome everyone, make introductions and set the tone for the two days ahead. Dust off the jet lag. The week has officially begun.

Oktoberfest Grounds
The main event. You can hear the music as you approach the tents. Crowds of people. Steins flying everywhere. You’re befriending strangers at the table next to you. Pretending you know the words to German songs. Pork knuckle. Roast chickens. Pretzels at every corner. Theme park rides. This is one of the world’s most sought after festivals, with 6 million people attending each year, for good reason. You’re about to discover why.
Day 6
Departure
Check out of the camp and make your own way to Munich International Airport. Full transport guidance in the pre-trip pack. You will leave with a slightly different relationship to beer, a group of people you'd never met six days ago and at least one story that requires significant context to explain properly.
