Some people could be really crazy about cars, just like us – car enthusiasts, that they would go on a long trip to another country and dedicate this trip just to see classic, exotic, and unique cars in huge car museums. So, if you’re this type of people, you’re probably here to gather some ideas about how would this trip be like, or to gather some ideas about car museums that you can visit in your trip to Germany as a car enthusiast.
What can you do in in a 3-day trip as a crazy car enthusiast? This is a question you might ask yourself if you’re planning to visit Germany as a petrol head, so here are some ideas to include in your plans, about some really cool and huge car museums located near each other in 3 different German cities, since you can go from a city to another by train or bus.
Stuttgart, Berlin, and Munich are some of the most famous and important German cities. If you visit Germany, you must definitely visit Stuttgart, the cradle of automobile. The city contains numerous automobile museums, such as Mercedes-Benz Museum and Porsche Museum.
If you spend a day in Stuttgart, you can start it with a breakfast in your hotel, then head to Porsche museum, then continue your day by spending some time in Mercedes-Benz Museum. It only takes you 12 minutes by taxi from Porsche Museum to Mercedes-Benz Museum or vice versa. Then, you end your day with Boxenstop Tubingen museum, which is also a car, motorcycle, and train museum, and has a good restaurant. It is also a good place for kids, if you’re with your family, and you can have dinner there. You have to take a train from Stuttgart to Tubingen, and it’ll take you one hour to get there.
Munich means BMW when it comes to automotive, so you definitely must visit BMW Welt as well as the BMW Museum to take a look at the stars of the company’s history. Moreover, during the visit, you’ll be able to have a tour around the factory. This tour could take two hours.
After you finish from BMW, you can have a visit to Motor world München, which is a huge world for petrol heads. It’s also a place where you can find events, exhibitions, restaurants, shops, and concerts as well. It’s a place where you can enjoy classic cars and new cars. You can stay there if you wanted for the night because they have hotel rooms (if you’re planning to stay in Munich and between cars).
If you still have plenty of time and you still haven’t satiated your love for cars, you can go all the way to Audi’s heaven in Ingolstadt, the Audi Forum. It’s about an hour away from Berlin so you can go there by bus, taxi, or by train.
Classic-Remise Berlin is a great car place to visit in Berlin if you’re a classic cars lover. The museum also contains cars from the modern era. It’s a huge car exhibition, in which you can spend half the day taking a look at the amazing cars it has. You can also have a visit to Trabi Museum, which is very small and can be fun to kids. It has a bunch of classic cars, all them are Traban cars. The small museum represents a little about the German war. Don’t forget to visit TrabiWorld as well, to go on a Berlin Wall Trabi Safari behind the wheels of a classic Trabant on a city tour in Berlin.
Transportation between the Cities
Your ways of transportation depends on where you’re staying at. If you want to go from Stuttgart to Munich, or vice versa, you can take a flight, and it’ll only take 45 minutes between the two cities, but I’ll cost you about 100$. From Stuttgart to Berlin, a flight would take about 1 hour 20 minutes as well. From Berlin to Munich or vice versa, a flight would take 1 hour and 10 minutes.
If you want a cheaper transportation mode, a train is good but it’ll definitely take more time: 2 hours between Stuttgart and Munich and vice versa, about 5 hours and a half between Munich and Berlin and vice versa, and 6 hours and a half between Stuttgart and Berlin and Vice Versa.
That’s why I suggest that you stay the first day in Berlin, have your tour there, then head the next day by flight to Munich. You can stay in Munich as I mentioned in the Motor world München hotel, or in any other hotel that suits you better. Then, you head the next day to Stuttgart by train from Munich. Or, you can stay in Stuttgart for the first day, head the next day by train to Munich, then go by flight from Munich to Berlin by flight to spend your last day there.
