The museum is sensational, it really delivers an incredible experience, with lots of history, lots of cars, sensory experiences, an extremely sophisticated and modern environment, a nice souvenir store, snack bars and a very good restaurant too. Last but not least, with the ticket you can skip the huge queue to buy them on the spot and go straight in.

Exceptional museum, historical tour of Mercedes vehicles from the first to the last. Quizzes along the way. Whether you're an enthusiast or not, this is a great museum to visit. Duration between 2h30 and 3h00 The only negative point is that it's impossible to find a watering hole along the way.

So much to look at! This was an incredible experience to view all of the different items produced by Mercedes, not just autos! Being from Detroit it was interesting to find out the connection between Daimler and Mercedes also. Truly worth a visit. Plan at least three hours...
