Most reviewed Speciality Museums in Baden-Wurttemberg
5.0Mercedes-Benz Museum(8.283 reviews) - Excellent museum in an inspiring building Saturday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Speciality Museums • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
The Museum celebrates the automobile invented by Carl Benz in 1886: it relates its history and tells its stories, bringing both alive by placing them in the context of technology, day-to-day life, social history and popular culture. More than 160 vehicles of all types are the main protagonists. They range from some of the oldest automobiles ever built to legendary racing cars and futuristic research vehicles. Together with other exhibits, they form the centrepiece of the permanent exhibition covering a total of 16,500 square metres in twelve rooms. This unparalleled world can be discovered on two tours that follow a 'Legend' and 'Collection' narrative.See more..
4.5Porsche Museum(4.687 reviews) - Book a factory tour if you can Saturday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums
Visited in mid-February 2023 while in Stuttgart. Amazing experience! Took a 911/718 factory tour and visited the museum afterwards. It was fantastic seeing 911s/718s in production (cameras/phones not allowed). The tour guide was great. Very knowledgeable! Impressive building and well laid out museum. I was there for at least three hours. Using the audio guide enriches the museum experience. So much to learn about the history of Porsche. For car (performance) enthusiasts, it is really easy to spend a full day at the Porsche museum. Factory tours are booked online but are paid for on-site.See more..
4.5Zeppelin Museum(1.236 reviews) - A must visit! Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Speciality Museums
In Zeppelin Museum guests can discover around 1500 exhibits on 4000m² exhibition space.

We happened upon this fantastic museum, and it was amazing. Airplanes, automobiles, motorcycles, and WWII equipment I could have stayed here all day, but we were on a tight schedule. You can enter the Concord as well as other aircraft mounted on the roof, so I can now say I've gone in both a Concord and a Tupolev TU-144. The design is excellent, and the collection is extensive. If you're looking for North American equipment, you won't find much.See more..
4.5German Pharmacy Museum(1.018 reviews) - A short visit but really worth it! Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums

3.5Faberge Museum(445 reviews) - Nice museum but expensive to enter Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
The austere sign outside lures you in & the name - Fabergé. But, it's not cheap to enter & in hindsight, I would say not worth the price. The museum is over 2 floors & gives the history of Fabergé & how he came to be famous. The majority of exhibits have a QR code that you need to scan with a mobile phone to receive an explanation. There are some nice pieces but not the elusive Fabergé eggs that are famousSee more..
4.5Motorworld Region Stuttgart(347 reviews) - Dream cars everywhere and open to the public still Saturday: 7:30 AM - 10:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums • Convention Centers

4.5Margarete Steiff Museum(273 reviews) - Nice little museum with cool story telling Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums
Visited in corona time, so not everything was open. Had a great time with 2 adults and 1 child of 5. Really cute animals of all sorts, especially the story that starts the museum is nice and cute. Our son loved the snake slide, which is for adults too. Friendly staff which led us to English ‘fuhrung’. 75 minutes of fun for 10 euros. Good deal.See more..
4.5Gasometer Pforzheim(250 reviews) - Great day out! Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums

Definitely recommend.See more..
4.5Kunsthalle Würth Museum(234 reviews) - Free art and a superb panoramic view over the town Saturday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums
The more modern section of the collection Würth. It has many excellent expositions and also which works are shown from their own collection seems to rotate (as none of the works on googled pictures where on display now, and vice versa). The Würth family deserves a big compliment for making art accessible to the big public like this and not asking any entry fee at all. The terrace in front of the entrance offers one of the best panoramic views over the old centre that Schwäbisch Hall has to offer.See more..
Like most have already written, this is a great place for kids of all ages to explore. Ticket price is only 12 euro for a family but experience would have been greatly enhanced if they offered audio guides in english. We passed at eating at the cafe, seemed pricey for what was offered but there is a McD's nearby.See more..
4.0Dorotheenhutte Wolfach(222 reviews) - Great Stop Saturday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
Beautiful glasswork is sold in this shop/museum. Glass pieces are reasonably priced and we found the museum interesting. It was €6 each to enter the museum part and for €25 you can design your own vase. It was very interesting to watch and we loved the beautiful vase we came away with! We also ate lunch in the bistro. The German cuisine was reasonably priced and delicious. Would definitely return if we are in the area again! See more..
From the outside the museum doesn’t look very large but they definitely use all available space. There are exhibits on the mining and cultural heritage of the area. Beyond that there are displays on clocks, organs and even the local radio manufacturers. It was a really interesting way to spend a few hours (2 tops) and everyone seemed to enjoy it. There are some devices that you can pay a few euro and they will play. My kids liked that. So if you have kids or just like things like that, have 1-2 coins on hand. You won’t be disappointed.See more..
4.5German Clock Museum(203 reviews) - An hour out of the rain Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Speciality Museums
The German Clock Museum is situated in the heart of the black forest. Established in 1852, it is one of the oldest technical museums in the world.

It also has a large technical library and a comprehensive archive of trade literature.See more..
4.0State Museum of Baden(187 reviews) - What a beautiful place Saturday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums
I love Schloss Karlsruhe. The interior decoration is beautiful and incredibly well preserved. The garden is peaceful and really nice. The way the Palace (Schloss) is situated and the way the city streets radiate out from the Palace, gives the city Karlsruhe the name Faecherstadt (Fan City). Nearby is the Marktplatz with its Pyramid, the resting place of the City's founder - very interesting. Also interesting is how Karlsruhe (Charles Rest) got its name and why the Palace was build at this location. According to legend, Charles William III, resting at the exact place where the Palace now stands, woke from his sleep, in which he was dreaming of a new city. And don't forget the Badisches Landesmuseum, taking up a large portion of the Palace rooms. It is one of the best museums and highlights the incredible history of the region and the city. A must see.See more..

At the former company headquarters, the home of the blue triangle, visitors can discover games, puzzles and books from over 125 years of company history.

I can strongly recommend visiting this small, but very rich museum! You should absolutely watch the film about the history of the Zeppelin there!

4.5Museum Brot und Kunst(100 reviews) - Hidden Gem Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
The exhibition in the Museum of Bread and Art has two parts. Art is on one side, and topics such as bread, everyday life, nutrition, and consumption are on the other side. There are cultural dimensions to both parts: it is about understanding and interpreting the world around us, especially the exploration of the spaces in between stereotypes and popular conceptions. The two halves complement each other. This is what makes this museum so special.See more..
3.5Märklin Museum(98 reviews) - Nice museum for Model Rail buffs. Saturday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
Good little Museum if your into Model trains …. Otherwise not really really that much to offer. Museum is over 3 floors & costs €10 1) Fantastic Ho layout in basement covering 200 m2 (I would estimate) 2) history of toys from companies pre Márklin, mostly tin plate 3) history of Márklin / Minitrix etc products, and the opportunity to briefly view the production line. There is also a free to enter large shop stocking only Márklin / Minitrix products, plus some other scenic accessories by Noch / Faller etc. and a small cafe.See more..
An impressive museum documenting the wonders of geology.See more..
4.5Federseesteg(88 reviews) - Lovely walk across the swamp and lake! Saturday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Speciality Museums
Don't forget your binoculars you will want to see the birds up close! This round trip 3km walk is well worth the 2,50 euros a person or for a family 5 Euros. There are lots of benches along the way to sit, listen and watch the birds. Two lookout stations provide ample space to get a good look. It would be helpful to have the birds of the area downloaded onto your phone so you can identify them easily. The Walkway has rails but there are not "child proofed". just in town is the office of the national park for the area but check business hours. The parking lot costs 2 euros for 4 hours BUT it only takes coins!See more..
We enjoyed our tour through the museum. It was very informative. We topped it off with a visit to the cafe for hot chocolate and cake. I would definitely recommend a visit to the shop on the main floor. We bought 2 Kilos of quality chocolate for under 20 euros!See more..
4.0Deutschordensmuseum(88 reviews) - The Crusades history! Speciality Museums
If you are interested in the history, yes! Go try this place! Most of the exhibitions are only in German with a little bit of English sub-translation. With a knowledge of the Crusades helps you to know more and enjoy this place and this town better. It’s small simple town compared to a few other Romantische Straße towns like Rothenburg but this small town has such a history and it’s beautiful charm.See more..
4.0Märklin World Titisee(85 reviews) - Nice and cosy miniature world Saturday: 11:00 AM - 7:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
The Märklin-World-Titisee is embedded in the art area M-A-C in the pedestrian zone in Titisee and is a starting point for young and old.

These show the visitor the enormous range of the company's products in their 150-year career.

4.0Museum fuer Stadtgeschichte(80 reviews) - Engaging history in splendid setting Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums • Architectural Buildings
This historic structure is the home to a museum that chronicles Freiburg's history through the 18th century.See more..
We visited here because of a promise to my 16 year old grandson and it was really great. The number of vehicles starting with the historical pre-Mercedes Benz vehicles, the versatility displayed by all the implements and attachments and the information given with each display was very well done. The ride along in a modern vehicle over a well designed obstacle/off-road course, experiencing just a fraction of the vehicles capabilities was worth the visit alone. You can experience this museum in about 60 to 120 minutes, so it will not bore those with you that are not as enthused about off-roading as you may be.See more..
4.5Strassenbahnwelt Stuttgart(77 reviews) - After over 20 visits to Stuttgart we found this gem Saturday: Speciality Museums
It was a real treat to find in the foyer of the Best Western Plus, Felbach, a leaflet telling us about the Museum of Trams from Stuttgart. It was an easy walk from Mercedesbahn stop on the U1 and was a real eyeopener. There were trams from many years ago and it was really interesting especially to a former train spotter. ( My wife found it interesting as well). (See photos)See more..

Durch einen Tip haben wir diese grossartige Sammlung gefunden, sie besteht aus 3 Teilen und ist einzigartig. Die private Autosammlung Steim beinhaltet nie gesehene Raritaeten und Oldies, auch aus den USA in den Anfaengen der dortigen Autoindustrie, weiterhin auch modernste Fahrzeuge. Im Original Fabrikgebaeude der Junghans Fabrik konnten wir auf 5 Etagen die Anfaenge der Schwarzwaelder Uhrenindustrie und die Entwicklung mobiler Geraetschaften ab 1945 entdecken, unglaublich und ein wirkliches Stueck juengerer deutscher Geschichte rund um die Mobilitaet. Der dritte Komplex beinhaltet das Diesel Museum. Unbedingt sehenswert, man sollte 2-3 Stunden Zeit mitbringenSee more..

This is a very well kept and curated museum in the middle of Constance, quite an oasis from the bustle of the town at times. On display you will find artefacts and general items of medieval Constance, plus it is situated inside one of the most interesting buildings of the town, which in and by itself is worth a visit. They do have a wonderful cafe inside which everyone should visit after the museum :-)See more..
We absolutely loved the entire experience. The museum and the outdoor area was educational and fascinating to see ancient history.See more..
4.5Automuseum Dr. Carl Benz(66 reviews) - The First Benz Factory Saturday: 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums

The location is very pleasant, just along the Neckar river and near the centre of Ladenburg.See more..

4.5Hopfengut N°20(62 reviews) - Very interesting at harvest time Saturday: 10:30 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums • Breweries
Visit this place at harvest time. Excellent explanations by friendly guide about hop growth and the historic background. To see the machines working at harvest time (only 3 weeks in September every year!) makes the visit unforgettable. Highly recommended!See more..
We did not attend the bird show, instead concentrating on the museum and climbing to the top of the old tower. This late medieval hilltop castle overlooks the Neckar river valley below. The castle was never destroyed and has been inhabited continuously for almost 800 years, since the mid-15th century from the line Gemmingen-Guttenberg - the Barons of Gemmingen. Great views. Great tower. Great museum. Great time!See more..
