Holidays in Europe
We like to holiday in Europe. Although we also like to visit even more exotic destinations from time to time, we have to say that we think Europe has a lot to offer.
Plus, of course, it's a relatively accessible part of the world - whether you're travelling by motorhome or otherwise. Picking ten countries wasn't easy (there are many more we like!), but here are a few of our favourites.

1. France - nature and food
France is one of our absolute favorite countries in Europe. We love everything from the beautiful language to the amazing nature. Here you can experience both exotic islands and dramatic canyons. And then there's the food! We think you can almost always get good and varied food in France – at reasonable prices.



2. Poland - beaches and cities
We have traveled many times in Poland, and it is a country we love to return to. There are lovely sandy beaches, beautiful cities and also exciting places where you can, for example, experience wild bison or the Masurian lakes.



3. Iceland - adventure and drama
Iceland is a fantastic country with dramatic nature in the form of geysers, volcanoes and waterfalls. If you want, you can experience the landscape from horseback. Reykjavik is also an exciting city, bustling with culture and with plenty of interesting restaurants.



4. Germany - themed roads and castles
Germany is a friendly, pleasant and camper-friendly country, which offers great variety. There is beautiful nature, charming cities, interesting theme roads and historical sights. In addition, there are beaches, beer, white wine and festivals, and the price level is good. What not to like?



5. Estonia - tranquillity and history
Estonia is more than Tallinn. Enough because Tallinn is a lovely and fascinating city, but it is exciting to also see more of the country. The countryside is beautiful and peaceful and there are many interesting places to visit. Not least, it is interesting to take part in the Swedish history that is everywhere.



6. Croatia - islands and national park
Croatia is a holiday paradise with a long, stunning coastline and thousands of islands. You can't go wrong when you travel to Croatia - you'll be right everywhere. In addition, there are a number of fantastic national parks and many beautiful and historic cities.



7. Belgium - beer and canals
Belgium is a small but charming country. Discover cities and towns like Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges and Ghent. Glide around the cozy canals, visit breweries and learn to drink beer like a Belgian.



8. Switzerland - mountains and beauty
Maybe it is Switzerland one of the most beautiful places to vacation in Europe. The mountains are high, the nature is green and the views are breathtaking in many places. We also like the opportunity for adventure, the delicious cheeses and the high quality of interactive museums and experiences.



9. Czech Republic - greenery and sights
Czech Republic is a country we like a lot. It is nice and easy to travel here with a camper. The nature is beautiful and there are plenty of attractions in the form of cities, castles, palaces and glassworks. There is also a spa tradition and good white wines. And the price range is pleasant!



10. Malta - swimming and culture
Malta is the destination for those who want to experience sun and water, but also a large dose of culture and history. Valletta is a fantastic city and it is also interesting to visit the historic capital Mdina. Also don't miss the island of Gozo with nature experiences and local produce.



Which payment card is best for travel?
There are many different types of debit cards, and there are often fees associated with the cards. Most Swedish cards charge 2–3 percent for purchases abroad. Some ATMs also charge an extra fee on top of the bank's withdrawal fee.
It therefore matters which card you choose! Northmill is an example of a card that is free of fees both in Sweden and when you travel abroad. The physical card is also free of costs – and travel insurance is included.
You become a customer in 3 minutes with BankID and then you can Swisha to the account and start paying directly with the virtual card. The personal account is of course covered by the deposit guarantee and Northmill Bank has a banking license.

There are many countries we like to visit. And most of them have something we like more and something we can do without. But northern Italy, parts of France, Croatia and Norway end up here as well as Estonia, Austria and Switzerland.

I have not visited Iceland and Malta. Iceland has been on my list for a long time.
France is a place I always come back to, always in my heart.
Have a nice weekend!

We have travelled in the countries you listed except Malta, which I cannot comment on. For us, Iceland is definitely the favourite! There are of course many beautiful and interesting things in each country, but Iceland is something very special!

Les Castel campsites in France are our favourites, but definitely not the language, it doesn't work for us at all. Austria is probably number 2 among our favourites.

Totally agree with you about all the countries you list. With the exception of Belgium, which, while offering great food, I found to be the dirtiest. I have never visited the Czech Republic.
