Autostadt

Description

The Autostadt (“automobile city”) is a car-themed visitor park next to the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, Germany. Opened in 2000, it was designed as a modern showcase for the Volkswagen Group and attracts about 2 million visitors annually.

The site features brand pavilions, museums, cinemas, car design exhibits, and driving tracks—including off-road courses for adults and mini-cars for children. Its most iconic landmarks are the two 60-meter glass car silos (AutoTürme), where customers can pick up new Volkswagens delivered directly from the factory.

Blending modern architecture, water, and green spaces, Autostadt offers both entertainment and insight into car history, technology, and design.
