Why this is a hidden gemAeroseum sits outside the usual city center circuit, so many visitors skip it. The setting is the main attraction: a large rock hangar built in the 1950s, around 30 metres underground. It feels more like exploring infrastructure than visiting a standard museum.

Opening hours and best time to visit
How to avoid crowds
Aeroseum lists these opening hours for 2025:
June to August: daily 11:00 to 18:00 (last entry 17:00)
September to May: Tuesday to Sunday 11:00 to 18:00 (last entry 17:00)

Always check the official page the night before you go if you are visiting in a holiday week. (Aeroseum opening hours and prices)
If you want the quietest visit, arrive close to opening on a weekday outside summer. If you are visiting Gothenburg during peak demand, note that Gothenburg and Co reported that private rentals like Airbnb grew 5 percent in 2024, which signals higher overall visitor pressure in busy periods.

How to get there
Best routes from the city center
Aeroseum is on Hisingen near Säve. Public transport is realistic, but expect a short walk.
By bus: Bus 35 goes to the Säve Depå stop. From there, it is a short walk to the museum. Aeroseum notes a walk of about 500 metres in one visitor info section, and about 10 minutes in another, so plan for a bit of extra time if you are moving slowly. (Aeroseum visitor info)
By car or taxi: Use the museum address and follow signs for Säve Depå. Paid parking is listed at SEK 20. (Aeroseum opening hours and prices)
A practical 2025 planning number: in Gothenburg, a one zone adult single public transport ticket rose to 37 kronor in January 2025. If you plan multiple rides in a day, compare single tickets with a day ticket in the Västtrafik app. (The Local on 2025 transport prices)

What to do nearby
Easy add ons for the same day
You are already on Hisingen, so keep your day local.
Ramberget viewpoint: a short hike up for wide harbour views.
Kville Saluhall: a food market hall that works well for lunch.
