Frankfurt at $776 RT from Winnipeg

Ah, October in Frankfurt, when the weather turns cool, the leaves turn red, and the world's largest book fair comes to town...

Hmmm, I feel like something else happens in October, but I can't quite recall...

Oh right! There's this little local shindig called Oktoberfest, maybe you've heard of it? It's no big deal, just one of the most famous parties on the face of the Earth, with music and dancing and more amazing German beer than you could drink in a lifetime.

Frankfurt has a terrific Oktoberfest of its own, but if you want to see the (much bigger) OG version, Munich is only a three-hour train ride away.

That included checked bag can fit a whole lot of souvenir beer steins, just sayin' :-)
