We have a wedding to go to in Sweden in July. We enjoy driving holidays, so figured we could drive there stopping along the way.

It's a fair old way at 1200 miles, so we're thinking we could get a ferry over to somewhere like Norway or Denmark and do most of the driving once we're there. Copenhagen, Gothenburg etc.

Anyone done a trip like this before, due to it being so vast, it's going to take a long time to figure out what ferries might be best. So after some advice on route etc.

I can do dover in 2 hours.

Seems like no easy crossing to half the miles though.

We're heading to Stockholm, well an hour west of it, I can't remember the town.

The bridge looks fantastic!

Ok, so people are finding it doable, I think we'd take a few days each way and have some over night stops.

In agreement. Flights are booked there and back, it's just too far. We done 1500 miles in 12 days, and we're only getting the afternoon and evenings in the towns (we went back roads).
