The Mercedes-Benz Museum is worth a few hours, even if you're not big on cars. Spread over nine levels, it walks you through more than 130 years of automotive history—from the first motorised carriage to modern electric prototypes—with around 160 vehicles on display. The building itself is a bit of an architectural talking point, designed like a double helix. Exhibits are well laid out, easy to follow, and occasionally rotate.

Located next to Porsche's headquarters in Zuffenhausen, the museum showcases around 80 vehicles and 200 smaller exhibits, all displayed within a striking 5,600-square-metre space. The building itself is an architectural highlight—a futuristic structure designed by Viennese firm Delugan Meissl Associated Architects, appearing to hover above the ground on just three supports. Inside, the exhibits are arranged chronologically, offering a comprehensive look at Porsche's evolution from its early days to the present. The museum also features a glass-walled workshop where visitors can observe vehicle restorations in progress.

One of the country's most recognisable religious landmarks, the National Memorial Chhorten's golden spires and bells attract Thimphu devouts and fascinated visitors alike. This Buddhist shrine and stupa (a mound or structure used as a place of meditation) was built in 1974 to honour Bhutan's third king, or Druk.
