Check out two BMW Welt reviews we selected from Tripadvisor, which gives you an idea of what to expect at this attraction.

We were excited to go to BMW Welt to see their best cars and technology. It is free to visit, and seeing their showcase of cars is cool. I had lunch there as well, and it was nice. I wish we had done the factory tour, but it was sold out when we arrived, so booking in advance is probably best. Overall, great experience.

BMW Factory Tours: The Ultimate Planning Guide

Visiting a bmw factory in action is an exciting experience.

Individual or Group Tour?

The BMW Factory Tour Booking Process

In this age of the Internet, booking a BMW factory tour reservation is a relatively easy process, and in many instances can be completely handled online (Links in each factory section below).  However, the key is to plan and reserve well in advance of your travel date.  Some factories only offer English speaking tours on certain days of the week, or in certain weeks of the month(!) so availability can be very limited.  Alternatively, if you only plan to visit BMW Munich for a factory tour, English speaking tours are offered daily on weekdays, and same day tours can sometimes be available, but are never a guarantee.  Being in a city center, the Munich factory has by far the most visitors, and tours are generally fully booked during much of the summer, the Oktoberfest, or the run up to the Christmas season.  If you have your heart set on a tour, start your availability checks as soon as you know dates.  If your visit revolves around visits to specific factories, determine the availability of English-speaking tour dates, and that can help in your overall itinerary plan.

Considering a repeat visit?

If you have toured a factory before and are considering a repeat visit, personal experience has taught me that you will have a different experience with each tour you repeat at a given factory.  Sometimes, certain areas may be closed to visitors and your tour is diverted around a prototype area during one visit.  Sometimes your guide comes from a particular area of expertise within BMW and communicates a passion for a certain area of production that you may have simply walked by on a previous tour.  No two tours will be identical, different or newer model cars will be coming down the line, so don’t talk yourself out of a repeat.  This may be a little less true in the Munich Plant due to the high volume of visitors, ridged schedules, and a more scripted approach for each group, but I have seen different parts of the Munich factory on different visits.

BMW Factory Tour Berlin

BMW motorcycles have been produced in Berlin since 1969.

10 Tour Day Tips:

• For each factory, you will be instructed to meet at a certain gate or “Tor” .  For the factories outside of Munich, there is generally ample parking and clear signage to put you at the right entrance. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to arrive.
• Dress appropriate for a factory.  Some factories will offer lab coats which prevent dangling clothing from becoming caught in machinery (you won’t get THAT close to machinery, but it’s a reasonable precaution).  All factories require closed toe shoes, and may turn away those in open side, open back or high-heeled shoes.  Wear comfortable walking shoes, but do not arrive in flip flops or sandals as you will be denied entrance!
• Leave big backpacks and gear behind.   You will be required to place personal belongings such as cameras and cell phones in secure lockers (bring some extra EURO coins with you to release the key – your coin is returned when you replace the key).  Such equipment is not allowed into the factory and the lockers are not large.  If it’s a cold day and you arrive in a large jacket, the locker will accommodate it.
• Most factories allow accompanied children 14 and over.   You should check specifics for the factory you will visit.
• Be sure to use the restroom before the tour as you may not have an opportunity during the tour. Most visitor gathering spots have restrooms available at the starting point.  If you need to use a restroom during the tour, inform your guide and they will assist.
• Make sure to eat breakfast or a meal – you’ll be walking for a couple of hours.  Your tour won’t be strenuous, but there may not be an opportunity for a snack until the end unless you book a tour that includes a meal (some do).
• Photo taking of any kind is not allowed inside the factory.   Do not be offended if you are asked to check your cell phone with a guard or to leave it behind in a locker.  Being caught snapping a photo (unless cameras have been expressly allowed) could get you a security escort from the factory floor.
• Photos ARE allowed once you are OUTSIDE of the factory.   You will be allowed to snap photos of the exterior of the factory or any car which may drive by – and you may spot a rare or new bird (BMW model) in the car park that will make you glad that you did bring a camera!
• Do strike up a conversation with other tour guests .  You’re going to be in a room with a load of BMW fans and can enjoy some great conversation!
• Be sure to thank your Tour guide!   It is sometimes customary to give a tip of a Euro or two in the large group tours – you can follow the lead of others if you find that tips are accepted.  Have Euro coins on hand.

• Not all areas of the factory tour are accessible to people with pacemakers* or insulin pumps.
• *For health and safety reasons, people who wear a pacemaker are not allowed to take tours of the MINI plant in Oxford.
• The usual factory tour is connected with climbing stairs. Please let BMW know when booking if you would like to visit BMW with people with reduced mobility.
• At the factories in Dingolfing, Landshut, Oxford and Steyr, it is currently not possible for people with a wheelchair or walking aids to take part in the factory tour due to structural reasons.
• The maximum group size is usually 25 people. The maximum group size at the Oxford plant is 15 people.
• It is not allowed to bring animals.

European Contact:

For any questions regarding a booking, please do not hesitate to contact the BMW Visitor service center for further information. You may reach BMW Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm Central European Time (CET), Saturday from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm CET on the following landlines:

+44 1865 8 25750 (Great Britain),

+49 89 382 15750 (Germany),

+43 72 52 888 15750 (Austria)

When you call, it will be very likely that English will be spoken.  If they answer in German simply say “hello” and they will adjust and assist!

If you are looking for an E-ticket tour to any of the BMW factories, the best advice would be to reserve no less than 3 (up to 6 months) in advance and to request an “Exclusive” or “Group” tour at whatever factory you visit.  In your request, be sure to specify that you would like your tour to be in English.  You will have an unforgettable experience and feel like a VIP.  Participating as an individual in a group tour is perfectly OK for all locations, and locations like Dingolfing and Regensburg as far fewer English speaking visitors come to these locations and your group is likely to be small.  – JK

BMW Welt Questions & Answers

Hi.how do I book tickets for the factory tour.I'm going early March

There are no tours to the factory. Only to the museum which costs money ( no reservation is needed) and to the BMW World which is free of charge.

Hello! Please check bmw-welt website, go to Visitor Information page.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
