Late spring and summer, especially May through August, are the best times for warmer weather and long daylight. Winter is darker and wetter, though autumn can still be pleasant.

Petrol around Gothenburg currently costs roughly 1.8 EUR per litre.

Gothenburg offers several central garages and street spaces, usually around SEK 20–40 per hour. Park-and-ride is a good option if you want cheaper parking and less downtown hassle.

No-Sweden generally has no road tolls for leaving Gothenburg, but the city does have congestion tax zones. Drivers may pay when crossing into/through the charged area rather than on normal outbound highways.

Gothenburg has environmental zone rules in some areas, which can restrict certain older vehicles. Most modern rental cars are fine, but vehicle emissions class matters.

A short detour takes you to the archipelago villages, Marstrand, or the cliffs and beaches around Saltholmen and the southern coast.

Gothenburg can be cold and snowy in winter, with icy roads at times. Winter tyres are strongly recommended/required in season, and some routes in western Sweden can face snow or closures in bad weather.

Gothenburg has lots of tram lines, so always give trams priority and avoid stopping on tracks. Cameras and strict speed enforcement are common, and winter conditions can make roads slippery.

The main airport is about 20 km from central Gothenburg.

Late spring to early autumn, especially May–September, is best for comfortable temperatures and long days. Summer is great for parks and waterfront areas, while winter is cold and dark.

Petrol around Oslo currently costs roughly 2.05 EUR per litre.

Oslo has plenty of paid parking garages, but central parking is very expensive, often around NOK 40–80+ per hour. Park-and-ride is usually the better option for visitors.

Yes-Oslo has toll rings, so drivers can expect congestion-related tolls on many major routes out of the city. Norway also has additional toll roads beyond the city.

Oslo has traffic restrictions and toll/road pricing, but no classic low-emission zone that requires a special sticker for rental cars. Electric and conventional cars may be charged differently, and some central access rules can apply.

Short detours from Oslo include Drøbak, the Holmenkollen viewpoint, and the lakeside town of Son.

Oslo gets regular winter snow and icy roads. Winter tyres are expected in winter, and nearby mountain passes can be snowy, icy, or temporarily closed.

In Oslo, tram tracks and tram priority are important-don’t block tracks and yield to trams at crossings. Parking is expensive and tightly controlled, and speed cameras are widely used.

The main airport is about 47 km from central Oslo.
