In-Depth Information
If living in a lighthouse is not your thing, you can still visit what's arguably Scandinavia's
oldest lighthouse (there's been a light of some kind here for over 1000 years) on the Kul-
laberg Peninsula. Kullens Fyr also shines the strongest lighthouse light, guiding ships to
safety from 50km away.

Sights
Saab Bilmuseum
MUSEUM
(
www.saab.com
;
Åkerssjövägen 10; adult/4-19yr Skr90/40; 9am-5pm)
Saab Bilmuseum is a must for car fanatics and Swedish design buffs. At this warehouse-
showroom, gleaming Saab car models span the first (a sensational 1946 prototype) and the
Sonnet Super Sport, of which only six were made between '55 and '57, to the futuristic
Aero X - the BioPower Hybrid Concept that's the first car in the world to run on bioethan-
ol and produce no emissions whatsoever.
Innovatum Science Center
MUSEUM
(
www.innovatum.se
; adult/7-19yr Skr90/50; 9am-5pm)
Innovatum Science Center, next door to the Saab Bilmuseum, is a fantastic science centre
with all sorts of whacky interactive gadgets for kids of all ages - from weird skateboards
you sit on, gyroscopes, whirlpool machines and a machine that allows you to control a ball
with your brain waves to oversized Lego blocks for little ones. Why wasn't physics fun
like this when we were kids?
