Many people look forward to celebrating Oktoberfest each year. It's an annual event that lets people enjoy their favorite beers, socialize and meet new friends.
But there's more to beer drinking during Oktoberfest. If you're serious about taking part in this fun event, you also need to know the proper dress code although this is not a requirement for attendance.

It may not be October yet but Vienna has already started its famous beer-drinking festival known as Wiener Wiesn-Fest or its own version of Germany's Oktoberfest. Just this weekend alone, the city's first weekend event gathered more than a million people who were out to party regardless of the dreary autumn weather.

In London and New York, the open house weekend is a popular event. It is the time when the cities open their buildings that are usually close to public to visitors.
This year, Vienna held its own version of the Open House Weekend just over the weekend. It's the first time the Austrian capital held such event in September providing people a golden opportunity to explore the city's unique architecture. The event also allowed locals and foreign visitors access to certain important buildings.
What better way to get to know a local in Vienna in a more personal way than to eat with them. This is possible through the Vienna Coffeehouse Conversations, a social dining event, that takes place every September.
The coffeehouse culture should not be missed by anyone visiting Vienna. If you're visiting the famous Ringstrasse area, the Cafe Ministerium is a must visit.
Voted as the most popular coffeehouse in the city center or in Vienna's first district in 2013, the Cafe Ministerium is where civil servants and local business people have their lunch. With red velvety seats and marble tables, the place also hosts club meetings on a regular basis.
