Car rental Södermanland County

Let's hit the road

Driving in Sweden can be quite a different experience compared to the UK. For a start, you'll be driving on the right-hand side of the road. Speed limits are also lower here, typically ranging from 30 km/h in urban zones to 120 km/h on motorways. Sure, it can feel a bit slower-paced, but who's in a rush with all these breath-taking views, right?

Choosing the right ride

Considering the varied terrain of Södermanland County, a compact or economy vehicle could be a wise choice for most travellers. These handle well on both motorways and country roads, providing a comfortable and fuel-efficient drive. However, if you plan on venturing off the beaten track, you might prefer an SUV for extra stability and comfort.

Discovering the highlights

Visiting Södermanland County, you'll have access to endless experiences, so make sure to plan some key stops. Here's a quick overview:

• Nyköping: A charming coastal town with a medieval castle to explore.
• Stendörren Nature Reserve: Offering hiking trails with stunning views of the archipelago.
• Trosa: Known as "The World's End", this idyllic town is a must-see with its picturesque canals and cosy cafés.

Beyond the wheel

Of course, Sweden has more to offer than just its landscapes—prepare for some delightful cultural surprises. From "fika" breaks with cinnamon buns and coffee to celebrating Midsommar—remember, these celebrations happen in June, not in the depth of winter like in the UK—there's more to explore than just beautiful landscapes.

Before you go

Sweden may seem like our cousin from across the North Sea, but remember some important differences: they use Krona, not Pounds, and English is not their mother tongue—though most Swedes speak it fluently. Last but not least, remember the weather! Sweden can be colder than the UK, so warmer clothing is recommended in any season outside summer.
