Pro tips to help you make a pick

The Mercedes-Benz museum is one of Stuttgart’s top attractions. Book your tickets 3 to 4 days in advance, especially if you’re visiting during the peak season (June to August).

Children aged 12 years and under can enter the museum for free. You will need a valid photo ID as proof of eligibility.

The museum sees an increase in the number of visitors towards mid-morning and midday. Early mornings just after the opening time are the best time to explore the museum without crowds.

Did you know?

In keeping with the futuristic interiors of the Mercedes-Benz Museum, its triangular atrium is designed to look like a Wankel internal combustion engine.

In case of a fire, the museum uses an artificially created tornado to clear smoke from the building. At 34.4 meters tall, it is also the world’s tallest artificial tornado.

The glass exteriors of the museum’s façade are made of 1,800 panels, each of which is unique and entirely different from the others.

It's a really beautiful museum—I really enjoyed it. I had some visitors from the U.S. in New York, and they loved it; it's really beautiful.

The Mercedes-Benz Museum inspires visitors from the moment they arrive: admission is quick, easy, and perfectly organized. At the entrance, visitors receive headphones with translations in their preferred language and an interactive device to guide them through the exhibition. The collection ranges from the very first vehicles to the latest models. Each car tells its own story—a quick scan with the device is all it takes to bring the world of Mercedes-Benz to life. An impressive experience and a real journey through the history of this automotive icon.

The day before yesterday, on January 3, 2026, I finally visited the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart - and it was simply incredible! I had been planning the trip for a long time and finally made it over the New Year holidays. The museum is open from 9am to 6pm (except Mondays, as usual), and I got there just before it opened to avoid the biggest crowds. An adult ticket currently costs around 16 euros (I bought it online to avoid the queue), and it was totally worth it.

We liked everything except for one thing: the man at reception was very aggressive. When we asked for headphones for the tour, we were told that there were none, but we asked if they might be available at another counter, whereupon the young man banged the table aggressively and discontentedly, as if we had forced him to ask. The child was frightened. We are from Ukraine, and any violent movement is stressful for us at the moment.

Buying tickets in advance of your visit means you don't have to queue to buy them on the spot. Knowing that the museum filled up quickly, it was a good idea to buy tickets in advance.
