THE MERCEDES-BENZ MUSEUM
The Mercedes-Benz Museum is by far the most visited museum in the whole of Stuttgart. In addition to Daimler classics and racing cars, models of the new generation will also be presented. An absolute must for every car lover. Since the company has a long tradition in various areas, the museum is correspondingly extensive. All exhibits are in excellent condition. Through the path of the car, it also brings history closer to those who are actually only interested in cars. 12 rooms, 16,500 square meters of exhibition space, more than 160 vehicles.
The Mercedes-Benz Museum, which opened on 19 May 2006, is located directly in front of the main gate of the Mercedes-Benz plant in Untertürkheim on the B14 and opposite the Mercedes-Benz Arena – the home of VfB Stuttgart.
