Volvo Museum
The Volvo brand is intrinsically linked to Gothenburg, where it was founded in 1927. Originally, the company had its iconic museum in an industrial zone in the northwestern suburbs. But that was closed down and the specimens moved here to World of Volvo.
What can you find here? Historic cars, sports cars, buses, planes, engines, three-point belts,... everything that belongs to Volvo.
Please allow 1 to 2 hours for your visit.
How to get here
World of Volvo is located near the Liseberg theme park.
The best option is to take tram line 2 or 4 to the Liseberg Södra stop, which is a few metres from the entrance to the exhibition centre.
You can also take tram lines 5, 6, 8, 10 and 13 to the Gothenburg Korsvagen stop, which is less than 1 kilometre from the centre.
