BMW Welt and the BMW Museum will be opening their doors to the public again for the first time this year on May 25. Visitors to the BMW Museum will be admitted free of charge on opening day. During the first week of opening, visitors should look out for special promotions in BMW Welt, the BMW Museum shop and participating cafés. 

For the time being, BMW Welt will be open daily from 8 am to 8 pm. All the exhibition areas will be open for visitors, and customers can pick up their new vehicles as usual in BMW Welt. In addition, a limited number of visitors can get personal advice on new vehicles in the BMW Welt showrooms,

Catering facilities, including Biker’s Lodge, Restaurant Bavarie and the outdoor terrace, will also be available to visitors from May 25. By way of a culinary highlight to kick things off, Restaurant Bavarie is offering business lunches from midday to 3 pm, Monday to Friday, with a new menu each day. Each Friday evening from June 4 to July 30 it will also be providing Hawaiian BBQ on the large terrace overlooking the Olympic Park. Guests can enjoy everything from fresh seafood, Kalua suckling pig and grilled Huli Huli chicken to fruit-packed desserts and exotic cocktails.

To celebrate the reopening, the BMW Museum will be offering free entry to all visitors on May 25. The M1 bistro will also be open again. Visitors can look forward to two new exhibits with special stories to tell. The BMW 2800 GTS Coupé Frua (1969) bears the unmistakable signature of the renowned Italian designer Pietro Frua – a design icon that BMW has lovingly restored to its full glory. Also on show is the BMW 2200ti Garmisch (1970/2019) – a futuristic concept car by Marcello Gandini, head of the Bertone design studio, which was unveiled more than 50 years ago and which was rebuilt in 2019 after going missing without trace.

BMW Welt will be open every day from 8 am to 8 pm, and the BMW Museum will be open every Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm.
