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. Come in calm summer weather for picnics on the islets, or — for the brave — in an autumn storm, when waves break clean over the tarmac. Fold it into a longer route via Ålesund and the Trollstigen hairpins. Stop at every lay-by; they're engineered for gawping.
