Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum — Attraction in Munich

The German Transport Museum in Munich is a surprisingly large and impressive museum that showcases a vast collection of real vehicles from different eras of transportation history. While it might not always be the first museum that comes to mind when visiting Munich, it certainly deserves more attention. The museum houses an extensive range of vehicles, including trains, airplanes, automobiles, and even maritime vessels, all displayed in well-organized exhibitions.

What stands out is the sheer size of the museum and the quality of the real vehicles on display. Visitors can get up close to historical locomotives, vintage cars, and classic planes, all while learning about the evolution of transportation. The museum does an excellent job of presenting these exhibits in an engaging way, making it interesting even for those who aren’t die-hard transport enthusiasts.

If you’re someone with a keen interest in history, technology, or simply appreciate seeing well-preserved vehicles from the past, the German Transport Museum is a must-visit. Its size and impressive collection make it a standout in Munich, and you’ll definitely leave with a deeper understanding of how transportation has evolved...

We went to the Transport Museum with #Bigfoot and #Littlefeet. It was quite crowded, but got lost in the three halls. There were lots of small children and older people. We had a look at all three halls. Impressive exhibits in the motorbikes, cars or the railway.

Three aspects that we found a little strange: 1. the exhibits and their stories mostly describe the past - but what about the mobility of the future? of course #Bigfoot and #Littlefeet wanted to get behind the wheel of the truck and eventually did when it was their turn. But not only is the cab getting a bit long in the tooth, the cushions and seat covers are also broken and filthy with stains. Why doesn't anyone take care of that? We had an online family ticket (17€) and still had to stand in the normal long row. Why is there no "fast lane" with scanner?

All in all, it's a big museum with good transport links and good infrastructure in terms of restaurants and parks around it. The entrance fee is worth it because the children are delighted and get wide-eyed. There is also a children's area in hall three. We are happy to recommend the museum, although it could improve on...

Very interesting place. And huge! You should plan at least 2 hours to properly see most of it. You'd think that 'Museum of transport and vehicles' would be boring and only for nerds. Wrong: this place is great for even people with absolutely no interest in cars, trains, buses, engines, etc. My favourite items were the old cars - they have an original Type-C racer from AutoUnion, as well the very first car ever made, by Karl Benz himself!

And it also has a kids' area that is well thought-out and planned. You can even leave older kids alone here. Just watch the time, because the kids' area closes at 1615, and the rest of the museum closes at 5pm. It is also one of the few public places in Munich open on Sundays.

To go here, you can either drive to the Munich city-center and then waste another 15min looking for parking. Or you can take the U5 u-bahn (Metro) that stops just 50 metres to the Verkehrszentrum entrance. Don't bother driving - the train is much...
