We’ve travelled through Sweden twice. The first time up the west coast from Helsingborg to Oslo in Norway. The coastal route got better and better the further north we went. Wild camping was easy as was finding fresh drinking water and getting rid of waste. I love the Swedish ‘right to roam’ policy.
The second time through Sweden we were heading South from Roveniemi in Finland to Stockholm. There only seem to be 2 roads to travel down and both are quite boring. Trees, trees and more trees. Speaking to the locals even they agreed there was nothing much to see. It wasn’t impossible to find fresh water and places to dump your waste but it wasn’t easy either. If we did it again we’d research more campsites. Stockholm, however, is definitely the jewel in Sweden’s crown. We loved it and it’s our favourite city so far. The fuel prices were similar to the U.K. and the choice of fresh fruit and vegetables beat Norway hands down. If we came again I think we’d explore more of Southern Sweden and definitely revisit the Capital.
