Our top tips for touring Sweden in a campervan

Going on a road trip in Sweden with an RV is a great way to explore everything the country has to offer. The busiest period for renting a campervan is from May until September so booking in advance is highly recommended.  

At CamperDays we offer flexible bookings which means if your travel plans change, we will immediately contact the rental company and take care of the rebooking free of charge. Many of our partners are accommodating and do not charge any rebooking fees. In case you have any questions before or after booking, you can contact our friendly customer service team by telephone.

Best campervan routes around Sweden

The Vildmarksvägen
The Vildmarksvägen translates to English as “The Wilderness Road” and is an utterly unique route to take around the country when you book a motorhome for hire in Sweden. Covering a total distance of 500km and offering some of the most tremendous views of the untouched countryside of Sweden, it takes you along the Stekenjokk plateau between Lapland and Jämtland. It is the highest paved road in the country and at its highest point is 876 meters above sea level.

Göta canal
Another excellent driving route to take when you book a motorhome rental in Sweden is Göta Canal. This route is one of the most significant and iconic things to see in Sweden and stretches for 190.5km between the towns Mem in Östergötland and Sjötorp in Västergötland. It has 58 locks and two aqueducts and is as famous to follow along on the road as on the water in a boat.

Skåne
Covering around 375km and involving a mammoth 6 hours and 30 minutes of travel, if you want to explore the southern part of the country when you book a camper van for hire in Sweden, then the road that takes you from Skåne in the northeast and follows the coast to the northwest, is ideal. Starting in Ahus to Österlen and the town of Simrishamn before heading onto Ystad, Skanör to Falsterbo and then Malmö to Helsingborg before finishing in: Båstad; this is a great adventure just waiting to be had.

Traffic Rules in Sweden

• Drive on the right side of the road and overtake on the left. Unless otherwise indicated, you generally give priority to those coming from the right.

• You should only sound your horn for a clear warning to prevent a potential accident.

• In Sweden, the speed limits differ depending on road safety, not road category. In built-up areas, the speed limit is between 60 and 100km/hour, and on motorways, it is 120km/hour.

• Be aware that large wild animals like moose and elk often run out onto rural roads.

Some of Sweden’s best attractions

Sweden is known for its vast beautiful landscapes and royal palaces. Below we have put together some of the sights to visit

Gamla Stan

• The old town in Stockholm, known as Gamla Stan, is a small, concentrated area where the city began in the middle of the 13th century. Its charm is the beautiful architecture along its narrow stone-paved lanes and cobbled streets.

• In this neighborhood, you will find plenty of great stores, restaurants, cafés and museums to explore.

Vasa Museum

• The Vasa Museum in Stockholm is Sweden's most popular museum. The famous Swedish 64-gun warship called Vasa sank on its maiden voyage in 1628. The ship lay below the icy waters for more than three centuries until 1961 when a salvage operation was carried out. 

• English guided tours and audio guides are available. The museum houses 10 separate exhibitions, which makes the museum a truly interesting day out.

Drottningholm Palace, Lovö

• The fairy-tale-like palace Drottningholm is on the island of Lovö and it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The palace is now the official residence of the Swedish Royal Family and it dates back to the 17th century.

• The terraced park is full of bronze sculptures from Bohemia and Denmark, brought back as trophies of war. There is also a Chinese Pavilion which dates from the late 1700s. Guided tours are available in English.

ABBA The Museum 

• ABBA The Museum is on the island of Djurgården, which is a quick bus or tram ride from the city center. This museum is unique even if you’re not an ABBA fan. The content and activities in the museum put the group’s musical achievements and influences in a historical context, which will help you to understand the ABBA ‘Phenomenon’ better. 

• The Museum showcases the band’s stage clothes, artifacts, concert footage, interviews and more in a contemporary, interactive setting. Once inside the museum, you can sing along and dance with the holograms of ABBA.
