Step into Munich, Bavaria, Germany, pictured here, for a celebration like no other, Oktoberfest. The culture of Bavaria is distinct from the rest of Germany, especially in rural areas where traditions, religion and language play a significant role. They take great pride in their heritage, which is reflected in the traditional attire known as tracht—lederhosen for men and dirndls for women—worn during special occasions. Known for their egalitarian and informal nature, Bavarians are famously sociable, a trait that"s on full display during the annual Oktoberfest, the world"s largest beer festival, attracting about six million visitors each year. This sociability is also evident in Bavaria"s iconic beer gardens, where patrons are welcome to bring their own food while enjoying beer exclusively from the hosting brewery.
