Arranging a free tour in Germany, how can we not visit the rich collection of Mercedes-Benz Motors Museum? After seeing the Mercedes-Benz Museum, how can we not stop by the Porsche Museum to have a look. We took a high-speed train 200 kilometers south from Frankfurt to Stuttgart. Visited two car museums with different styles in succession. Fortunately, both of them are located in the urban area with convenient transportation. The whole day itinerary is a rich car museum itinerary.
Transportation: How to get to the Porsche Museum?
The Porsche Museum is located next to the Neuwirtshaus [Porscheplatz] station of the Stuttgart Suburban Railway (S-Bahn). It takes only 6 minutes to take the S7 route from Stuttgart Central Station. It takes 4 stops and a 50-meter walk from the station. You can reach the entrance of the museum.
This time, I took the ICE train from Frankfurt to Stuttgart this morning. The journey takes about one and a half hours. It is very convenient to go to the two museums of Mercedes-Benz and Porsche from Stuttgart Central Station. You can run through the two museums in one day.
The only thing to note is that the two museums are on the S1 and S6 routes respectively. The two railways must transfer to the Central Station. Fortunately, the journey time is very short. I wanted to take the bus and have a try, but the time will not be shortened. , So it is recommended to give priority to railway.
If you go to Stuttgart to lock the itinerary and visit the two major automobile museums, you can purchase the VVS GruppenTagesTicket for group 10 groups at the central station automatic ticket machine. Each group ticket is 11.8 euros and can be used by groups of less than 5 people. The transportation cost is quite expensive. Cheap, detailed itinerary can refer to Frankfurt's itinerary guide.

Although the exhibition space is not large, the exhibits exceed 80 cars. It is recommended to provide free Chinese guides. Can be appreciated slowly.
The exhibition hall is a wide space with no division between two floors. It can be moved around freely. It can be roughly divided into three routes. One is to show the history of Porsche company and technology development before 1948, the other is to arrange Porsche sports car products in chronological order. It is also an exhibition area of racing history in chronological order.
Different from the diversity and richness of the Mercedes-Benz Museum, Porsche exhibits are concentrated on sports cars and racing cars, showing the attributes of Porsche products and the company’s proud racing history.

Porsche Museum: Souvenir Shop and Restaurant
On the right side of the Porsche Museum lobby is the souvenir shop, which mainly sells small items such as T-shirts, models, calendars, books, etc. I believe people who love sports cars may not help but buy a model home.
The Porsche Museum has two restaurants, Christophorus and Boxenstopp. The former is located on the third floor. The meals are mainly Western steaks for more than 30 Euros. You can enjoy the sports car in the exhibition area. The latter is located next to the ticket office on the first floor. The meal is 10 Burgers and pasta under Euro,
