Car Tourism in Germany

ABOVE: VW Phaeton assembly at Volkswagen's "Transparent Factory" in Dresden.. INSET BELOW: A hairpin corner at the Nürburgring, which offers heartpounding rides by race taxi, and the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart.

Germans love their cars, and automotive cognoscenti love Germany. Go anywhere in the country, and you're never distant from a car museum, factory tour, or racetrack.

You don't even have to drive to reach most attractions, thanks to a nationwide high-speed rail system--and when you do drive, you can put the hammer down and forget about speed limits on many sections of Germany's fabled Autobahn network.
