How to find sights near you
If you let your browser share your location, the map opens where you are. If not, tap «Use my location» under «Near me», or move the map yourself. The list below the map shows the sights on the map and up to 100 km beyond its edges, five to start with; «Show more» adds more. Use − and + to change that distance in 50 km steps, from 50 up to 400 km.
«Best» puts the top places first, «Distance» the nearest. Each place shows a photo, its name and how far away it is. «Details» opens a bigger photo and a line about the place, and «Add» makes it your destination: Roadme then works out what it would cost to drive there in your car from where you start.
Where the places come from
In Norway the list comes from our own guide: fjords and scenic routes, stave churches and museums, waterfalls, mountains and beaches, each with a photo. Where our guide has places nearby, the list shows only those; the other sights stay on the map in grey, and a line under the list says how many there are. For any place from our guide, «Open in Gowme» takes you to Gowme, our trip planner for Norway, which has its description and practical details; the line under the button says when they are paid.
In Sweden, Denmark and Finland – and wherever our guide has nothing nearby – the sights come from Wikidata, the free database behind Wikipedia. There, «Best» puts the best-known places first. The photos come from Wikimedia Commons, with the licence, and usually the photographer, credited under each one.
Several sights in one trip – and what it costs
Enter your starting point, then add the places you want to see. The first becomes your destination; «+ Add a stop» makes room for the next. Once you have two or more stops, «Optimise the order» sorts them for you. The calculator adds up the whole drive: fuel at each country's price, every toll station and bridge, and every ferry we have a fare for.
Planning a longer trip with many stops? The route planner explains how the order is chosen. Need fuel? The nearest stations are on Gas stations near me.
