Because the headquarters of the Volkswagen AG is located in this modern city,Wolfsburg is also known as the "Autostadt" (Car-City) of Germany. Attractions like the huge open air museum, which is dedicated to automobiles, the planetarium, the Phaeno Science Center, the largest hands-on science museum in Germany or the old part of the town make Wolfsburg well worth a visit. Beside this, Wolfsburg offers many shopping facilities: Over 40 well-known brands located in the designer outlets, the City-Galerie Wolfsburg or the shopping mile Porschestrasse are just a few of the possibilities to allow you to shop to your heart's delight.
Autostadt
The Autostadt is set in beautifully landscaped grounds with sculptures and water features creating an unusual background for what is primarily a working area. The area contains 7 pavilions built by modern architects; each one dedicated to a car manufacturer and all offering different lifestyle themes. The exhibition offers a large variety of multimedia activities to keep everyone entertained. It gives you a chance to interact with car design software and an opportunity to see many famous cars including the Volkswagen Beetle, as seen on the Beatles 'Abbey Road' cover. Other highlights include a driving track for adults and children.
