Discover the west coast of Sweden, world-class cuisine, and the second largest (and most sustainable!) city in Sweden when you rent a camper van or RV in Gothenburg. We’ve compiled the top tips on how to get your road trip off to the best start in the section below. From where to find fresh water and groceries, to the perfect spot for a coffee before you hit the road – you can start planning today!
U.S. citizens do not need a visa for short tourist visits to Sweden. Here’s what you should know before your trip:
Excellent public transportation in Gothenburg means that wherever you park, it’s easy to get around. If you’re camping outside the city, it may be easiest to head to your local station and take the train into Gothenburg, but if you’d like to drive into the city, here are some options for parking during the day:
Before you return your roadsurfer camper van, you can refill with diesel and AdBlue at one of these convenient gas stations near our location here:
Please note: The AdBlue service station information provided is for guidance only and is provided without warranty of any kind; customers are advised to check the information for accuracy on their own responsibility, as roadsurfer assumes no liability for the accuracy or timeliness of the information.
When you rent a camper van in Gothenburg, you’ll need to find somewhere to fill your fresh water at the beginning of your trip and empty the grey water at the end.
Gas stations often have a fresh water tap where you can fill up, although we recommend not using the hose provided, as it’s not guaranteed to be free of contaminants. Instead, use a water canister to fill the fresh water tank. You can also buy large bottles of water from grocery stores for this purpose.
Unlike the U.S. and other European countries that have plenty of RV service sites, Sweden has fewer camper van services where you can empty your grey water. It’s best to do this at your campground after the final night of your road trip.
The best time to rent a camper van or RV in Gothenburg is between May and September when the temperatures are between 60° and 70°. The warmest months are July and August. In August, the annual music festival Way Out West takes place in Slottsskogen Park (Castle Forest). Fans of heavy metal music should visit in June and July as there are many interesting metal festivals taking place such as Metal Town Festival.
Fall to spring is not the best time to visit in terms of weather due to rain. On the other hand, this is a great time to visit Sweden from a culinary point of view because it’s the best time to enjoy freshly caught delicacies from the sea, including crabs, mussels, or oysters. Tip: Lobster from western Sweden is considered some of the best in the world!
