After being closed for more than two years due to the coronavirus pandemic, Škoda Auto is now reopening its Czech production facilities to visitors. The guided tours of selected plant areas and final assembly are ideal for school groups and families with children aged ten and over. The tours are offered in various languages, including Czech, English, German and Dutch.
"We are delighted to finally be able to offer our factory tours again after more than two years. It's worthwhile visiting because our plants have changed a lot in that time. In Mladá Boleslav, for example, we've started producing the all-electric Enyaq iV family as well as MEB battery systems, and in Kvasiny we've continued to systematically modernise the production facilities. Meanwhile, the Vrchlabí plant became Škoda Auto's first CO2-neutral production site at the end of 2020", - said Andrea Frydlová, Head of the Škoda Museum.
The only requirement for a guided tour of the Mladá Boleslav plant is to pick up a ticket from the Škoda Museum. The admission for a guided tour in Czech is 180 CZK (7,3 Euro); for a plant tour in other languages, it is CZK 260 (10,5 Euro). Guided tours at the Kvasiny and Vrchlabí sites are free of charge. The tours, which last around two hours, are often accompanied by the carmaker's former employees.
To go on a guided tour of the Mladá Boleslav plant, you must wear sturdy shoes without high heels and have your own vehicle with a free seat for the tour guide. The Škoda Museum can arrange a minibus for groups of up to seven people by prior agreement. For each of the three production sites, tours can be booked in advance on this website. Visitors can find out about the rules that apply on the factory premises here.
