Autostadt

FactoryTour Compact at the Volkswagen Wolfsburg plant The Autostadt is the showpiece; the plant beside it is the real reason to go. Visitors register at the Autostadt and take a shuttle bus onto the factory site, then ride the visitor trains or walk part of the route, depending on which production areas are running that day. The whole tour takes about an hour, covers around 6 km and goes inside the production halls. It runs only on production days, Monday to Friday between 9am and 4pm, and the minimum age is 6. It can be booked online up to 24 hours ahead, and filming and photography are banned across the site. A weekend visit gets the Autostadt but no production.
