Did not seem like a factory, clean, quiet, productive, easy viewing, great tour, modern technology, happy workers, etc, etc, etc. Phaeton is an expensive VW luxury car! More

We visited this factory while on the Hopon Hopoff Bus tour and found it well worth the stop. Even if you have not booked a tour throught the factory there is still plenty to see and read about. More

It's extra-modern, fancy interiors. All factory is see-thru, covered with glass with insanely designer wooden floors. Nice restaurant, plus VW lounge where you can go inside any of the displayed cars. More

This place is more like a birthing ward than a factory. The building is a technical wonder, the design of the facilities are an architects heaven, and it also produces cars ! Even if you are not into cars or techno stuff, you will be amazed to see a Phaeton being constructed. Tours take approx 75 mins, and are conducted... More

I really enjoyed visiting this factory. The building is really amazing - almost everything is made out of glass, and even the floor of the assembly line is wood. The tour was very interesting - the guide was very professional and knowledgeable and told us all about the car assembly process, the building, and the car-buyers' experience. If you're at... More
