Weterama Mannheim
One of Europe’s largest events for collectors and car enthusiasts!
This highly popular annual event is held in Mannheim, Germany, for visitors interested in antiques and classic cars, among other things. The fair brings together over 4,000 exhibitors and 45,000 visitors across an outdoor area of approximately 260,000 m² and an indoor hall of 15,000 m². We’ll travel comfortably on Finnlines ferries from Helsinki to Travemünde, and spend our first night in Germany in Bad Oldesloe, from where we’ll drive to Mannheim during the day. We’ll have a total of two days to explore the fair, and the van will ensure that even larger finds can be transported back home. So join us on a treasure hunt to Germany with a great group, and let us take care of the travel arrangements for you!

Jälleen kerran mukava matka vuosien myötä tutuksi tulleiden matkakumppanien kanssa mielenkiintoiseen kohteeseen. Erityisesti pidän siitä kuinka “siistiä” matkaseurue on. Ei minkäänlaisia järjestyshäiriöitä koko matkan aikana. Itse kohdehan on Elämys isolla E:llä 🙂 Suurkiitos. Risuihin en näe mitään aihetta. -Juha J.
