Best van travel destinations in Europe

Established cross-border vehicle networks and scenic regional highway tracks in Europe

The classic campervan culture that shaped much of Europe's road-trip identity is still very much alive, particularly along coastal loop routes in the north and fjord roads further north still, both built around extensive, well-maintained camping infrastructure.

The destinations on this list range from established coastal loop routes with regular campsites and services to longer fjord roads that demand more careful planning around ferries and seasonal closures. Both suit trips of a few days or several weeks.

Booking ferries ahead for the fjord routes matters considerably during peak summer, when crossings can fill up with limited notice. Most routes are well signposted throughout. Packing for sudden weather changes also matters considerably given how quickly conditions can shift. Most routes pass through several small towns.
