Sweden and Norway are beautiful countries. You will find nice cities, but also impressive nature reserves. This versatility makes Sweden & Norway the perfect countries for an impressive motorcycle holiday.

In this collection 14 beautiful routes through Sweden & Norway.

Good preparation is half the battle, so read the tips below carefully.
1. Check the weather forecast. It can be very hot in Sweden & Norway, but it can also get very cold. Always check the weather forecast before you go, so that you can pack the right clothes.
2. Decide in advance which route or routes you want to follow. This way you don't drive around like a headless chicken and you can make the most of your days off in these beautiful countries.
3. Familiarize yourself with the traffic rules. In Sweden & Norway, in some situations, slightly different rules apply than in the Netherlands. By immersing yourself in the traffic rules, you prevent (unknowingly) committing a traffic violation and/or putting yourself in a dangerous situation.

It is also wise to book the accommodations in advance. It might be more fun to drive through these countries on spec, but you don't want to drive around endlessly to find a place to sleep. If you go to Sweden or Norway during the high season, the chance that you will have to look for a place to sleep is greatest. It is also possible to camp during your motorcycle trip, but find out in advance where this is and is not allowed. You are not allowed to pitch your tent everywhere.

As the largest country in Scandinavia, you can enjoy extensive tours in a unique environment. Forests, lakes, nature parks and agricultural areas largely determine the landscape, which also consists of flat areas and rolling hills. Around the Swedish-Norwegian border is the Scandinavian Highlands, where the mountains rise locally to 2100 meters.

Norway is known for its amazing natural beauty. Fjords that go into the country tens of kilometers deep, snow-covered plateaus, sharp mountain peaks and vast forests. In this sparsely populated country, most people live in the cities, of which the capital Oslo is the largest.

Tolls have to be paid on a large number of roads in Norway. If you approach a toll road, you can continue without stopping. With cameras above the road, the license plate of the vehicle is scanned, not the registration number of the trailer or caravan. It takes quite some time to process the photos.
The bill is then sent home within four to six months by Euro Parking Collection (EPC) in London.
