The Atlantic Road is incredibly famous. I mean, whenever you see a list of the top things to do in Norway, it’s right up there. In Norway, it has earned the title of ‘Construction of the Century in Norway 1905- 2005’. The UK’s Guardian once crowned it as the world’s best road-trip. Norway’s Aftenposten called it the ‘Most Beautiful Car Journey’. Lonely Planet called it the ‘World’s Best Place to Mend a Broken Heart’. The television program Fifth Gear named it the World’s Best for Car Testing.
Yeah, the Atlantic Road is pretty great. But it’s also worth keeping in mind that the stretch of road they are talking about is only 8km (5 mi) long. Yes, really. It’s very short. Blink and you miss it. So, does that make it worth it? Absolutely! This guide includes everything around the Atlantic Road that you can do.
