The Atlantic Road

It’s a great place to visit if you want to enjoy the beauty of ocean and its sound. I would recommend not to miss the round tour if the weather is good

Western Norway can be cold and wet - like our last visit, or just colder and with snow - and sometimes sunny if you get amazingly lucky, but as for ‘the roads to have visited’ bucket list this little stretch is a classic - and that includes the hassle of getting there as it’s not really something you pass by on the way somewhere - it requires targeting!

Summary: Completely disagree with people who have said it’s not worth it. This drive is breathtaking and a once in a lifetime experience for many. More details: we turned up at 11pm during the summer, and seeing the sky in pastel colours as the sun was setting was perfect. Getting there so late also meant that it was relatively empty. There are numerous rest stops all the wall down, with a few people parking up to stay the night with a view of the bridge and the tiny islands. There is a 10-15 minute walkway around the largest island which gives fantastic views of the Atlantic. It has a handrail for most it, but it dips down at places to allow access to the rocks below to scramble upon. Lots of people had made rock piles, which was a beautiful way of displaying the presence of other people without it interfering with the view, in fact they enhanced it. There were no toilets that I could see.

The road is nice, but very overrated. not so worth the long drive north if it is not on the way. The iconic bridge is nice, and there are a couple of walking ways worth it. Note the wind is very strong anc cold, so it is not fun to be outside.

One of the most beautiful scenic road in the world. Cannot forget this simply breathtaking view. And this is night 12:30 during midsummer in the land of midnight sun. ❤️

What an experience. Those few hours there will be breathtaking. That ride on the road is amazing, you will like to pass through that again and again. Waves around says lot, mesmerising and photogenic view.

Gorgeous view; gorgeous day!

Beautiful views of the sea with mountains on the background. Offers plenty of places to stop and observe the surroundings. The road itself can be relatively long/extended if you want. If you follow the signs to road 664 you will end up in Bud and can go toward Kristiansund and meet the 663 again. If you have a larger vehicle I would recommend to avoid the 664, as the 663 offers more space. The road from Bud to Farstad (664) just offers more of the same views so you won't miss out on any highlights if you choose to follow the 663.

What a beautiful little local restaurant. Our tour group came to have dinner here, and everything was extremely tasty. We had this traditional fish stew that was tomato-based, and it really hit the spot. I also loved the dessert, which was a flan dish. The staff was extremely nice, even though we only spoke English. They were both professional and courteous, and we will remember this experience for quite some time. Thank you so much for the great meal!

Don't know why this is not packed all the time. Awesome food, including the whale beef. (The best meat ever) Great tasting food, friendly service (Dutch lady) and nice views. We stumbled upon this place by luck, and we felt really lucky. Highly recommend. Not a very big place, but check out the second floor. We had a large party with not easy to please people, but we all loved it. Of course the prices are Norwegian prices, so not cheap. But very worth it.

This is a traditional Norwegian buffet just off the Atlantic road! Everything is home cooked and fresh right off the stove! You will not be disappointed with the food quality! Top notch just like your grandmas home cooked meals!

We went to this restaurant today, on a Monday at 5 pm, tried to enter and we were met by a very sour woman telling us very rudely it was closed, even though the restaurant was buzzing with ppl and the "Open" sign clearly visible. Now I cannot say how the food is as we did not manage to eat there but I can already tell the service was horrible.
