The Atlantic Ocean Road
Only eight kilometres long, but what kilometres: Norway's Atlanterhavsveien hops between skerries on a chain of causeways and one show-off bridge, the Storseisundet, which from certain angles appears to launch cars into the sea.

Why go
Eight kilometres of causeways and bridges skipping between skerries on Norway's west coast, with the Storseisundet Bridge appearing to launch cars into the sea from certain angles — engineers with a sense of theatre. It's short, so fold it into a slow Molde-to-Kristiansund honeymoon day with fjord detours and fish-soup stops. September brings dramatic weather that flings spray across the tarmac; calm June evenings offer midnight-sun driving with almost nobody else out.
