Toilets at Oktoberfest?

I did a search of this topic on these forums and only saw answers about the men%26#39;s toilets.





In the tents and in other areas around Oktoberfest.. what is the women%26#39;s toilet situation? long lines?





Thanks!

as with any civilised country you will find toilets for women at an event such as this...

I didn%26#39;t mean do women%26#39;s toilets EXIST, I meant are there huge lines for them like there are in many civilized countries.





I%26#39;ve been to many small Oktoberfest events in the US and waited in line with a full bladder for 20 minutes.





I%26#39;m guessing the Germans have a better system?

Not to worry, the toities are just outside the tents and there are plenty of them. As usual, the ladies sometimes have lines but the wait is generally short. If anybody on the planet knows about drinking beer and the relieving thereof, it%26#39;s the Germans! You will never experience a spectacle to compare with Oktoberfest. :-D

The tents at the OFest are not cloth wigwams... they are massive structures and feel like being indoors... the toilets like any restaurant will be within the %26#39;tent%26#39;... the days of long drops are long gone... and of course women queue to use the toilets... men do to... and of course the mens queue moves faster...

And to add my pinch of salt, you will find that the lenght of the queues vary depending on the time of day, the tent you%26#39;re in, the weather situation and what day of the week it is.... anything between no wait and almost an hour is possible (that%26#39;s mostly on the first saturday, since most people will have had their first beers at the same time and therefore are rushing to the toilets at about the same time). There is no final answer to your question.

I was at three different tents last year and was quite amazed how clean the ladies bathrooms were. I was worried before we got there but I was suprized on how well kept they are. In fact, there are ladies in there that keep them clean all day. In the Hippodrom last year, the toilets were even self cleaning -- don%26#39;t ask me how, but the seat rotated and disinfectant was sprayed on the seat after each flush. I thought the lines went very quick and didn%26#39;t have to wait long at all.





We can%26#39;t wait until September 18th this year!
