While well laid out and informative, a museum of cars just isn't my thing. We stopped. By as it was free and we had an hour or so to kill before lunch. Not sure I'd have done so otherwise.

You need a car to visit the car museum, but definitely worth a visit and you can easy spend a couple of hours.

We are interested in classic cars and own a Volvo, so had to visit. There is a good selection of cars as well as trucks and buses. Only 60 SEK entrance

Excellent museum - well laid out and very interesting. Very convenient for cruise passengers as directly by the ship. Would recommend a visit if you have time.

Volvoes complete history including the cars of course, as well as prototypes and more. A little off-track out at Arendal, but once you find it you will have a nice time. I wish I could buy the old cars in the merchandize shop.

We were picking up a new Volvo and enjoyed the Volvo experience a great deal. Visit the old part of town.

Loved the service, loved the new car! Lunch was fine, traditional Swedish meatballs and potatoes. The factory tour was not quite as interesting as I thought it might be, but it was okay.
