Deep beneath the rocky landscape just outside Gothenburg lies one of Sweden’s most fascinating attractions: Aeroseum, a former top-secret military aircraft hangar turned aviation museum. On this guided Aeroseum tour, you’ll explore the hidden tunnels, authentic environments, and impressive aircraft collections that tell the story of Swedish aviation—from early pioneers to modern-day fighter jets.
Aeroseum is not just any museum—it is housed in a 30,000 square meter underground facility once used by the Swedish Air Force during the Cold War. Built to withstand attacks and operate as a secure base, the hangar remained classified for decades before being transformed into a unique public museum.
Your guide will take you through the history of the site, revealing how it once functioned as a strategic defense hub. Walking through the original corridors and command areas, you’ll get a sense of the secrecy, tension, and importance that once defined this underground world.
One of the highlights of the tour is Aeroseum’s vast collection of civilian and military aircraft. From early propeller planes to modern jet fighters, the museum showcases the evolution of Swedish aviation.
JAS 39 Gripen – Sweden’s most famous fighter aircraft, still in service today.
Viggen and Draken jets – iconic Cold War-era aircraft that symbolize Swedish defense innovation.
Helicopters and transport planes – showing the diversity of aviation beyond fighter jets.
Civil aviation highlights – including training aircraft and private planes that tell the story of everyday flying.
Many of the aircraft are displayed in authentic settings, and some can even be entered, making the experience highly interactive.
This aviation museum tour in Gothenburg is also a journey through history. You’ll experience what life was like for the Swedish Air Force during the tense decades of the Cold War. From radar stations to control rooms, Aeroseum recreates the atmosphere of an era when Sweden prepared to defend itself against potential threats from the east and west.
Guides share personal stories and anecdotes from those who once worked here, giving you a deeper understanding of both the technical and human side of Sweden’s military history.
Aeroseum is not only about looking—it’s about experiencing. During the guided tour, you will have opportunities to:
Sit in the cockpit of selected aircraft and imagine being a fighter pilot.
Try flight simulators that let you test your flying skills.
Explore interactive exhibits that make aviation history come alive.
This makes the Aeroseum tour just as exciting for children and families as it is for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs.
