The Porsche Museum sits in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, right beside Porsche's headquarters and original factory, and opened in 2009. The building itself — a striking, seemingly floating monolith by architects Delugan Meissl, resting on just three concrete cores — is as much an attraction as the collection inside, which traces the marque from the 356 through the 911, 917 and Carrera GT. As of 2026 it operates Tuesday to Sunday, and because the roughly 80 displayed cars are rotated regularly, repeat visits reveal new machines. It makes a rewarding half-day for petrolheads and for travelers who simply love contemporary architecture and design.
The 356 'No. 1' Roadster — the 1948 car that first wore the Porsche name and started it all
The motorsport hall with Le Mans-conquering 917 and a wall of racing cars and trophies
The Delugan Meissl architecture: a bright white volume appearing to float above three cores
The 'rolling museum' concept — many cars still run — plus the glass-walled workshop where classics are serviced
The generational evolution of the 911, alongside hypercars like the Carrera GT and 918 Spyder
Good to know
RulesClosed on Mondays; open Tuesday–Sunday, and the ticket desk shuts earlier than closing time (roughly 30 minutes before), so avoid arriving late in the afternoon. Confirm current prices and hours on the official site before your visit.
RulesFrom Stuttgart main station (Hbf), take S-Bahn S6/S60 to Neuwirtshaus (Porscheplatz), about 10–15 minutes, then a 2-minute walk. You need a valid VVS zone ticket — buy it from a station machine or the official VVS app in advance.
CautionAlways buy transit tickets from official station machines or the VVS app; avoid anyone offering to buy tickets for you or unofficial resellers near the station. Riding without a valid ticket incurs a steep fine.
SafetyWatch for pickpockets in crowded areas like the main station and on the S-Bahn. Wear bags in front and keep your passport and wallet in an inside pocket.
MannersPhotography is generally allowed indoors, but skip tripods and heavy flash use and be considerate of other visitors. If you eat at the on-site Christophorus restaurant and the service is good, a 5–10% tip is customary in Germany.
SeasonSummer peak season, weekends and German public holidays draw crowds and longer queues. Aim for a weekday morning or book online; as an indoor venue it is a solid rainy-day option.
