Thanks, Doug

ercedes-Benz museum - take S1 (S-bahn 1 from main train station or other points in Stuttgart to Daimlerstadion stop (in suburban Stuttgart) and follow signs (open Tue-Sun 9am-5pm; free) Sounds like you can just show up. Hoping others who have been there recently will shed more light. I was there years ago and just went in - short walk from station.

hi there,
not so sure, but I guess Doug is thinking about a factory tour.

I am interested in the tour of the factory and how you go about getting tickets.

I think it's all one and the same - there may not be a factory tour per se but you may glimpse a bit of the factory.

hi there.
museum and factory tours are two different things. The first is open to public as a selfeguided tour, You wont see anything from the factory. The other is a guide tour, but as I know not for public.
Have send a mail to my friend working at DC, waiting for answer.

have fun

There is a classic center in Stuttgart that houses every model of Mercedes ever built, including the first ever "car". To me, it looks like a bike with a motor.

I would email public relations at MBZ to see if you are allowed to visit. Make sure you mention the classic center which is different from the museum. We had a connection who allowed us to go behind the scenes so I am not sure if they offer access to everyone.

The Museum Tour is wonderful as was the factory tour in '91 when they were just beginning to produce the S-class.
Your local M-B dealer should be able to arrange same.

there is apparently a Mercedes-Benz museum and factory experience in Tuscaloose, Alabama (see mercedes-benz official web site).
