The main thoroughfare through Vestfold is the E-18, which will get you where you want to go quickly, but the view is mostly tunnels and forest. To go sightseeing, make detours from E-18, for instance the Hortensveien/Midgardsveien betweenHorten andTønsberg along the coast. Or take the road fromLarvik toStavern. A good map is your best friend!
