Though they’re both German, the approach and philosophy behind Audi and parent company Volkswagen are not all that similar to each other. Take a look at their heritage and customer reception approaches and you might spot some of those differences. While the Audi Forum in Ingolstadt may contain some of the same elements as Wolfsburg’s Autostadt, there are distinct cues that are quite unique. As part of our recent world travel series, we explored the Northern German headquarters of Volkswagen and in particular their Autostadt “theme park” to see those differences, and to find out what there is to see specifically for the Audi owner.

I've been to both Audi's and VW's big "theme parks" and enjoyed them both. Autostadt was pretty huge, while the Audi "Forum" was not nearly as big. They were both very interesting. I remember also how interesting and strange it felt to drive through Wolfsburg, where almost every car is a VW.
I also took an autobahn route through the former East Germany - the roads still seemed relatively dilapidated compared to the West Germany roads.

My wife and I toured Germany on our honeymoon in May.In your review, I am surprised no word was mentioned of the Touareg and A5 Golf driving schools @ Autostadt; that was some of the best times we spent there.
Autostadt is amazing.
