If you are a fan of fashion and big brands, you must know this name: Outlet City Metzingen. Located about 1 hour and 45 minutes from Strasbourg, Germany, it is the ultimate shopping destination in Europe. The historic cradle of the Hugo Boss brand, this entire city is dedicated to luxury brands at reduced prices (Prada, Gucci, Burberry, Moncler, etc.).
But let’s be honest: making the round trip in the day, looking for a parking space among the millions of annual visitors and, above all, bringing back dozens of bulky bags can quickly turn the dream into a chore. VTC Strasbourg DMD offers you the VIP solution: a private shuttle with driver for a 100% pleasure day.
1. Why go to Metzingen instead of Roppenheim?
Roppenheim is very good for a quick exit. But Metzingen plays in a different league. It is one of the largest outlets in Europe.
- The “Luxury” offer: You will find haute couture houses (Bottega Veneta, Dolce & Gabbana) that cannot be found elsewhere at discounted prices.
- Hugo Boss: The factory outlet is gigantic (it is the brand’s headquarters). Savings on two or three suits often pay back the cost of the trip.
- Architecture: It is not an artificial village, but a real integrated German city, pleasant to walk through.
2. The comfort of the “Door-to-Store”
Reaching Metzingen by train from Strasbourg is an obstacle course (often via Stuttgart, with connections and shuttles).
By booking your Strasbourg – Metzingen hybrid bike :
- Your driver picks you up from your home at a time of your choosing (leave early to avoid the crowds!).
- You travel comfortably in a high-end sedan during the 160 km of German autobahn.
- We drop you off in the heart of the Outlet City on Hugo-Boss-Platz. Immediately ready to shop.
3. The major asset: Managing your purchases (XXL Trunk)
This is the crucial point. When you go to Metzingen, you rarely come back empty-handed. Suits, winter coats, shoes, handbags… The volume rises very quickly.
Imagine having to keep an eye on 15 luxury bags on a crowded train on the way home. Impossible.
With VTC Strasbourg DMD :
- The Chest is your wardrobe : Do you have your arms full at noon? Meet your driver, drop off your purchases in the vehicle’s secure trunk, and go back to the shops hands-free.
- Security: Your valuable purchases are safe in a closed vehicle, under the supervision of your driver (if you opt for the provision).
4. Shopping with friends? Think of the Van!
A day of shopping is even better when it’s shared.
Our Mercedes V-Class Van can accommodate up to 7 passengers and has a huge trunk.
- Cost-effectiveness: Divide the price of transport by 5 or 6 people. The cost is derisory compared to the comfort offered.
- Conviviality: Debrief your purchases and compare your finds on the way home, in an air-conditioned lounge.
5. Tax Refund and International Tourists
If you are a tourist from outside the European Union (USA, China, Switzerland, Middle East) staying in Strasbourg, Metzingen is a must for Tax Free.
Our drivers are used to accompanying an international clientele. They will be able to drop you off in front of the tax refund offices on site to facilitate your administrative procedures before returning.
