Wolfsburg is home to Autostadt (Volkswagen's headquarters and main factories)! This place is a as big as the eye can see! If it helps to imagine how big it is, it has two power plants powering it! The famous towers are a holding area for cars that buyers are going to pick up and it looks like a candy machine. A lift takes cars up and down to their respective spots within the towers. We got to experience a tour of this and while touring we sat in a glass box that represented a "car" going up into a spot. It was awesome to see the view of the factory from the top of these towers!
Next, we made our way to the factory tour. We loaded on to a tram and were driven over to the factory part. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take photos. We saw the plant for the VW Golf and Golf Plus. Seeing the car get put together from the body to the engine was amazingly cool! The marriage was the best part! This is when they take the engine and bottom of the car and attach it to the body!
After our time in Wolfsburg, we made the 3 hour drive to Frankfurt and caught a flight to Paris!
