The headquarters for Volkswagen, and site of the famed Autostadt park and museum, it’s near top of the list for most petrolheads visiting Germany. Cultural attractions — including a fabulous science museum and art gallery — abound, making the city an increasingly popular weekend break destination. Whether you’re travelling for business or leisure, the best place to stay in Wolfsburg is nothing short of superb.
Built as a planned city in the 1930s, Wolfsburg has a youthful, forward-thinking vibe.
