Do you know that the biggest car manufacturer in Bayern started as an aircraft engines producer? 

The Bayerische Motoren Werke was founded in 1916 as a merge of three companies that made aircraft engines, airplanes and automobiles. After World War I, it’s became a company focused on motocycles and automobiles.

The BMW headquarters is in Munich. Its construction started in 1968 and was completed in 1972. The tower is 101 meters high with 22 floors and is located next to the Olympic Village. The building is a notable example of architecture, and it is shaped as four cylinders like in a car engine. 

Right there it is the BMW Museum, a fascinating place that holds more than 100 years of history. 

Also there in the campus is the BMW Welt, where the company showcases its many cars and offers an amazing experience to its visitors!

In Munich you definitely have to add to your tour guide visiting the BMW Welt and BMW Museum. Even if you don’t like cars or motorcycles, at least you should go for the architecture! And if you say you don’t like any of these, you still should go for the fascinating environment and then take a walk in the surroundings (Olympia Park)!

How to get there? Just take a U-Bahn to Olympiazentrum and you will face the huge BMW buildings. From Marienplatz you will take only 15 minutes to get there! 

The BMW Welt is opened from Monday to Saturday from 7:30AM to 12:00AM, and on Sundays from 9:00AM to 6:00PM. Yet, the BMW Museum is closed on Mondays and opened from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00AM to 6:00PM. For more details, you can check the website.
