You'll love it mate, been 3 times myself

Head to the Autostadt early and book yourself on the English speaking tour as spaces are limited and don't forget to try the currywurst in the delivery pavilion restaurant, made with the famous VW part number bratwurst

have emailed the Autostadt to book an early tour

is a day in the VW museum too long ?

thinking of booking a driving experience but not sure if I am going to have time as I only have a day at the Autostadt

I had a yellow mk1 golf just like the picture above with a 1.5l engine. Tried to make it look like a GTi before I actually got myself a white mk1 GTi 1.6. Best car I ever owned, so much fun, cheap to run and one of the quickest things on the road back in the day

The memories

Can't see a day in the museum being too long with all the VW history inside.

I used to blast into Germany only taking 2hrs from Calais so never stopped as the journey was relatively quick.

If you do feel the need for a half way stop then I would stop of in Maastricht, it's a beautiful place

Enjoy your trip
