Southern Sweden Coast & Islands Self-Drive Loop
Depart from Copenhagen and loop through Österlen, historic naval towns, Öland, and Kullaberg
A long summer self-drive route in Southern Sweden. Cross the Öresund Bridge and head east along the coast to see megalithic monuments, apple orchards, the naval port of Karlskrona, and the World Heritage sites of Öland. Return to the west coast via the Kingdom of Crystal, and take the ferry from Helsingborg back to Denmark. Spend two nights in most towns for a leisurely pace, with the ninth day being the longest drive. Perfect for self-driving couples and families, bypassing Gothenburg and the inland lakes.
Öland is crowded from June to mid-August; May and September are much quieter.
