Traveling around Sweden in your own or rented car promises tourists a unique experience of cities, landscapes, natural attractions. But it is important for car tourists to know that violation of parking rules in Sweden is punishable by a 150-euro fine. Although there are no toll roads in Sweden, there are toll bridges there. Thus, travel on Svinesund costs 2, 10 euros, on Oresund - 50 euros, on Motala - 0, 52 euros, and on Sundsvalls - 0, 94 euros.
Features of parking in Sweden
For those who do not want to be punished with a fine for improper parking, it makes sense to park on the right side, and not against the traffic. In street parking there are machines that accept both coins and credit cards for payment. In addition, it is worth paying attention to the signs - some streets are cleaned at night.
