Autostadt Wolfsburg
The Autostadt in Wolfsburg is a 28-hectare theme and discovery park located directly adjacent to the Volkswagen AG headquarters. Since its opening for the World Expo in 2000, it has become one of Germany's most popular tourist destinations. Visitors can explore the philosophy of the various Volkswagen Group brands, from VW to Porsche, in dedicated brand pavilions. The centerpiece is the 'ZeitHaus', the world's most-visited automobile museum, which documents the history of mobility with iconic exhibits. Particularly striking are the two 48-meter-high Car Towers, where up to 800 new vehicles are stored fully automatically before being handed over to their buyers. Beyond technology, the Autostadt features an extensive park and lagoon landscape, diverse dining options, and regular cultural events such as the 'Movimentos' festival weeks.
