Beautiful Scandinavia


If you are planning on a tour to Scandinavia, then the best thing to do is not to visit all those beautiful places first. The utmost thing is to go for a drive in those beautiful roads stretching from Denmark to Sweden to Norway and up to Finland. These roads contain beautiful surroundings with fresh air blowing. The roads are in excellent condition and the traffic signs are clear. Some of the rules and regulations that must be followed while driving in those roads are

  1. Drive on the right hand side of the road throughout Scandinavia
  2. All passengers inside a car must wear a seat belt
  3. Dipped headlights are required 24 hours a day on all vehicle types
  4. The minimum age to hold a drivers licence is 18 years or older for a car.
  5. A warning triangle is a requirement
  6. For motor cyclists, a safety helmet is a requirement

In addition to these guidelines, speed limit is very important without which very hefty fines are collected. Each and every country allows a different limit on the speed of the vehicles. A country like Denmark with comparatively less traffic allows vehicles to go up to a speed of 130 km/h. In Norway the general speed limit on motorways is either 90 km/h or 100km/h. On Swedish motorways the speed limit is 110km/h. Certain stretches will only allow a lower speed limit, due to heavy traffic closer to major cities or driving through treacherous areas. On smaller roads throughout Scandinavia the speed limit will range from 70 to 80 km/h and within residential areas from 30 to 50 km/h.

During our long travel, we become tired and need to take enough rest so that we can drive well the next day. The capital cities of each and every country offer the best hotels in Europe. But to get accommodation in winters is very difficult. So one can book using cheaperthanhotels to get rooms for our family. These Sweden Hotels ; Stockholm Hotels ; Norway Hotels ; Oslo Hotels offer the best treatment to its customers in all aspects. So, book your cab and hotels in this site and enjoy your stay in the Scandinavian Peninsula.
