What if you would have the opportunity to experience a world of mobility? Or maybe to experience the life of car designers and to have an inner-perspective of the auto industry? Certainly, not many of you would really refuse such a challenging invitation… For car lovers and not only, Autostad is an amazing experience. Situated in Wolfsburg, Germany near the original Volkswagen factory, this complex and unique concept will initiate you in a fascinating universe.




The Autostadt invites its visitors into the world of motion, on a 25 hectares location of rolling hills and lakes accompanied by innovatory architecture and design forms,background to numerous and multifaceted attractions. Visitors will have the opportunity to visit a number of car exhibitions, to view artworks and films and to experience interactive research stations offering the possibility for experimentation. In addition to the main museum building, housing a wide variety of the VAG marques you will have the opportunity to visit pavilions for each of the Volkswagen currently-produced brands: Bentley, Audi, Skoda, SEAT and Lamborghini.



The Autostadt gives its visitors a very unique, kaleidoscopic experience, emphasizing the real human values. Also,  the diversity of the Autostad concept represents the broadly-oriented principles of the Volkswagen Group:quality, safety, achievement and sustainability and customer-oriented services.

Attentively elaborated concepts and their forms of presentation will be a delight for art-lovers and high-tech enthusiasts.



One of the main attraction is the Car Museum, where visitors can enjoy classic cars and contemporary art together. In March 2008, the Museum re-opened its collections of Automobile Milestones in a completely re-designed exhibition. Unique vehicles are being displayed in contemporary design but contextualized with the use of historical images. Most of the information is embedded in stage-looking platforms. One of the most interesting possibility visitors have is to discover the CarTower. They can actually experience the CarTower from the inside. A number of six guests can be lifted by panorama lifts, using the same procedure as for every car of the 800 vehicles stored in the tower. Visitors are taken up to 48 meters, as if they were a regular car and experience adrenaline with a swinging effect. At the end of the procedure the lift will be deposited in a specially designed slot on an observation deck. The CarTower is a novelty because until recently this area was closed to the public.
