What we loved about this museum are its intelligent settings that place the interrelated automotive right next to each other. It has a setting that you cannot find anywhere else in the world. Moreover, you will love the details that every display comes with so that there is nothing you don’t get to know about the invention you are watching.
Coming to the best part, the food over here is beyond delicious. Where there are not too many cafes and restaurants, you are surely going to love whatever you choose from the limited available menu nonetheless.

You can have a really close experience with almost all the machines that are displayed here and that is what will make you experience even more amazing. Leave everything else, the place where this place is located is itself an exotic gift of nature.
The entrance fee is easily affordable and the opening hours are also very flexible. Make sure to visit when some other event has been arranged either in the museum itself or in its vicinity and your experience will be pretty amazing.
Coming to the quality of edibles over here, the items are not in plenty. However, whatever you will get here in the cafes will be pretty good in terms of quality as well as taste. Nevertheless, they items are going to cost a fortune and therefore we suggest taking along something to eat from home and devouring on it in the car outside.
The scenic beauty of the outside will surely add more to your experience as you enjoy the food alongside some natural views at the same time while sitting in your own car.

Another great place in Germany for Formula 1 lovers, this place has been opened up for the general public not very long ago. Here, you can personally experience from a very close distance all the vintage and old cars dating back to when the initial types of racing cars were introduced.
Most of the cars displayed here are the prototypes but not all of them are just that. There is a permanent exhibition going on throughout the year in this museum. The exhibition is all about racers and car makers who have been endowing the world of sports since year.
The best part is that you can leave your kids to the library built inside this place where they can keep themselves busy in interactive activities. This means that even taking your family and children along to this place won’t come in the way of your enjoyment and intense observation of your favorite cars.
There is a small yet relaxing stop right next to the museum where you can eat whatever you want.

Do not miss out on the photo galleries over here that are way too good if you are looking for a great photo shoot either with your families or friends.

Cite de L’automobile Schlumpf Collection | Transport Museums
Believed to be the biggest car museum in the entire world, this place has a great collection of automotive. It is believed that the number of cars they have are way too many for all of them to be displayed at the same time.
The history of how and where this museum was built is event more interesting than the museum and its displays. Cité de l’Automobile was once a wool mill and the brothers who owned it later turned it in to a beautiful museum where woolen made items were displayed. Who knew it was going to the world biggest home to vehicles of all kinds and the people would be coming to bless their eyes over here.
