Autostadt

Autostadt is Volkswagen Group’s large automotive theme and visitor park on a lagoon in Wolfsburg, combining brand pavilions, the Zeithaus museum, event spaces and the automated glass car towers. It presents rotating exhibits, manufacturer displays and hands‑on experiences across roughly 28 hectares.

The site functions as both a museum and a delivery/visitor centre: expect design displays, seasonal exhibitions, restaurants, shops and an all‑terrain driving track. Many attractions require a valid day ticket or annual pass and some exhibits rotate seasonally.

A mix of museums, brand pavilions and experiential displays in parkland beside a lagoon.

Look out for:

• Zeithaus museum with a rotating historic and thematic car collection.

• Brand pavilions for VW Group marques and the automated glass car towers.

• Seasonal exhibitions, family‑friendly activities and an all‑terrain driving track.

• Onsite restaurants, cafés, shops and event spaces (including conference venues).

Best way to experience it:

Plan several hours to see a pavilion or two plus the Zeithaus; buy tickets in advance on the official site for guaranteed entry and check the site for current exhibitions and any timed entries.

• Some areas require a valid day ticket or annual pass; buy tickets online to avoid queues.

• Popular on weekends and during school holidays; expect crowds and limited parking at peak times.

• Onsite dining and shops available, but opening times for specific pavilions can vary.

• The site is spread out across parkland; wear comfortable shoes and check maps for route planning.
