With an Avis hire car in Sweden, explore the great outdoors. The beautiful scenery invites you to take part in all sorts of activities, some familiar and others waiting to be discovered. The uplifting natural backdrop of the country, one of Europe’s largest but least populated, will inspire the hiker in you. The Swedish countryside is home to a number of well-established lowland hiking trails. Many of these start from the major cities and enable you to take in Viking burial sites and medieval churches, as well as rural landscapes and forests.

Winter wonderland
Swedish Lapland is one of the most northerly points in Europe. Its truly unique landscape is Europe’s last remaining wilderness. From the 24-hour daylight of the Midnight Sun and +30 degrees in summer to -40 degrees in winter, it is the land of eight seasons. It is home to the Sami, whose roots can be traced back to the Ice Age.
 

A taste of Sweden
Your trip can be a true gastronomic experience. Seafood aficionados in particular will be in their element: the west coast is awash with shellfish. Visit in autumn to take part in the Shellfish Journey. This begins in late September, to coincide with the start of the lobster season, and continues until early November. Tour the spectacular coastline with Avis car hire and seize the opportunity to indulge in the freshest seafood.
 

A capital experience
If all the outdoor activities and fresh sea air wear you out, take refuge in the Swedish capital. From atmospheric, winding cobbled streets to upmarket boutiques, there is something to catch everyone’s eye. The 700-year history of the city waits to be discovered. The Royal Palace shouldn’t be missed and there are plenty of beautifully preserved buildings and gothic churches to admire. 

Which side of the road?
In Sweden, please drive on the RIGHT side of the road.

The breathtaking landscape of this country means that you don’t need to travel far outside the cities for an unforgettable road trip. Car hire in Sweden will allow you to move from town to town with ease, roaming freely through countless forests and hillsides, and stopping off at picturesque lakes and quaint villages.

Stockholm to Örebro

If you’re in or around Sweden’s capital and you’re in the mood to explore further, a great journey to take is the road route towards the town of Örebro. On your way there, you’ll pass the open-air museum of Rademachersmedjorna, which is well worth spending a few hours looking around. There’s also a number of impressive medieval castles, including the famous Gripsholm.

The Wilderness Road

If you have a few days to spare, the Wilderness Road is a journey that you should definitely try. Over 500 km of roads, you’ll sail past crystal-clear lakes and white water rivers, before ending up at the Stekenjokk plateau, which is Sweden’s highest road (879 m above sea level).
