A guide leads a group of visitors through the production of the Transparent Factory

When was the first electric Volkswagen built? How far can you get with one charge? And how many production steps does it actually take to complete an electric car?

We will be happy to answer these and other questions by visiting our 83,000 square metre production and experience world. Our guides will take you directly to the production line. Get exciting insights into the final assembly of an all-electric Volkswagen – from the car body store to the door fitting and the wedding.

In our world of experience, we show you concept vehicles and the latest models of the ID. family – Volkswagen's all-electric model series. And if we could make you curious or if you would like to experience our e-models live - a small selection is available for test drives in front of our house. 

For families with children, daycare and after-school care groups, we recommend our Kid.s Tour.

Reduced: €13 incl. 19% VAT.

This will save you €2 compared to buying them individually.

The special feature: You have the option of purchasing the combined ticket, but only redeeming it at a later date within one month. So you don't have to visit both houses in one day.
