The Volvo museum is a short bus ride from central station and situated in the industrial part of town, right on the water of a sea port. Entrance is free with the Gothenburg city card. It is a beautifully laid out museum with the cars situated in areas that look like city streets and more. There is a short video... More

Went at the time of Christmas sale. Sale was really good. Also, all vintage car lovers should visit it, if they have free time. It is not very big or huge as museums are but pretty Ok for a small visit. More

If you're a Volvo fan... then this is the place for you! The museum displays almost all of the vehicles that the Volvo group (Cars, Trucks and Heavy Equipment) has produced and also an exhibition hall to showcase the Volvo Ocean Race. A good place to learn about the history of Volvo. More

Well hidden on the Northern side of Gothenburg, in the western harbor area of Hisingen, this extremely interesting and well-presented museum is well worth a visit. Not only enthusiasts, but also kids and "normal" persons will enjoy this. It is very much a time-machine, from the birth of Volvo until what is coming tomorrow, and everything in-between. Go here!

This is a great museum for families with children that enjoy cars and technical things. My 12 yr old son really enjoyed it, so did we. It is well worth its modest entrance fee 100 Skr (for a family ticket). Some great vintage and more modern cars (and lorries) on display. We went on Gothenburg's great public transport system. It's... More

For a car-loving family like mine, we had a time of our life looking at and experiencing Volvo cars from 1927 to date ..the new volvo concept car of the future.. The display is dramatic using videos at strategic places. The other offerings of Volvo such as buses, trucks also make the visit enjoyable.. More
