🇩🇪 Wolfsburg (Wolf Castle 🐺) – Autostadt & Outlet Shopping!

Not the "Wolf Castle" from cartoons—this one’s all about cars & deals! 🚗 1st Stop: Volkswagen Autostadt (Car Lover’s Dream!) We bought tickets on-site (a bit confusing 😅), but booking online is cheaper and lets you reserve the popular "Car Tower" in advance. The futuristic tower is a must-see! 🎈 Car Museum Strolling among classic cars feels like time travel! Scan QR codes for detailed info. My friend "Xiao Wang" doubled as my tour guide + photographer 📸. Pro tip: Souvenir mini-cars are cheaper on Taobao! 🛒 🎈 Car Tower (Extra Fee) & Brand Pavilions Some displays even let you buy cars on the spot! 💰 🎈 Free Activities Lounge areas, kids’ climbing zones (Xiao Wang called it a "VIP club" 😆). Big Slide 🛝: Get a sliding mat at the entrance. Boat Ride 🚣: Afternoon crowds! Remove shoes before boarding. Choose between pedal boats ("Big Swan" – nostalgic for Chinese parks!) or automated ones. 🍦 Food Rec: ICE CREAM! Skip the restaurants—waffle cones (no extra charge!) with rich chocolate-nut or fresh strawberry flavors are chef’s kiss! 👌 🛍️ 2nd Stop: Designer Outlets Wolfsburg Connected to Autostadt by a bridge! Check Google Maps for brand lists. Scored a dream jacket at Mammut 🧥: Breathable, sleek, and versatile (Xiao Wang nicknamed it "eggshell" – perfect for summer or layered in winter!). Sizing shocker: Usually wear L in China, but here XS fit (too snug though—went for M for cozy layers). The happy clerk taught us hood-stuffing tricks! Bonus: Rushed before the 7 PM closing—got 2 jackets, and the clerk’s smile was priceless! 😊 🫔 Food Recs: Crêpes 🥞: Cherry-liquor flavor—sweet, unique, and unforgettable! Frittenwerk 🍟: Garlic-cheese fries were a win, but Xiao Wang’s chicken/pork toppings? Meh. #LifeInGermany #GermanyTravel #StudyInGermany #Wolfsburg #Autostadt 🚘✨
