Car Tourism in Germany

ABOVE: Do-it-yourself driving thrills at Volkswagen's Autostadt theme park in Wolfsburg. INSET BELOW: A hairpin corner at the Nürburgring, which offers heartpounding rides by race taxi, and the BMW factory tour in Regensburg.

Germans love their cars, and automotive cognoscenti love Germany. Go anywhere in the country, and you're never distant from a car museum, factory tour, or racetrack.

You don't even have to drive to reach most attractions, thanks to a nationwide high-speed rail system--and when you do drive, you can put the hammer down and forget about speed limits on many sections of Germany's fabled Autobahn network.
