Porsche and Mercedes museums

Two of the world's greatest car museums, a few kilometres apart.

Stuttgart has the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen and the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Untertürkheim, and between them they cover most of the history of the car. The Mercedes one starts with the very first automobile; the Porsche one ends in the race car hall.

Do both in a day and you'll have sore feet and a long wish list.
