Ada
★★★★★2 months agoA fantastic experience, especially for car enthusiasts! The collection is impressive, well-maintained, and full of unique vehicles that make the visit truly special. Every section had something interesting to discover. The highlight of the visit, however, was the gentleman at the ticket desk. He gave us such a warm and friendly welcome and was incredibly positive, which made the experience even more enjoyable from the moment we arrived. If you’re in Hamburg and have any interest in cars, this museum is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

★★★★★3 months agoA true hidden gem in the heart of HafenCity! Housed in a beautifully restored factory, the space is incredibly stylish and spread across three floors (Level 1 and two basement levels), showcasing racing cars from across the decades. What sets this place apart is the depth of its curation; it’s not just about cold machinery, but the legendary stories of the engineers and drivers behind them. The staff here are incredibly passionate and welcoming. The small café and museum shop are also well worth a visit for their curated models and books. It’s a quiet, immersive, and top-tier experience.
