The Best Motorcycle Routes in Europe

Two-wheel enthusiasts know it well. There is nothing better than a good motorcycle route. Whether with friends, family, as a couple, or even solo. Furthermore, if the route allows you to discover new places, enjoy unforgettable landscapes, and, in short, do some sightseeing—even better! At NG BRAKES, we know your desire to explore never runs dry, which is why we have compiled what many consider to be the 5 best motorcycle routes in all of Europe. Are you ready to ride them?

Furka Pass (Switzerland)

This is a favorite for the bravest riders. It is a Swiss road where high speeds can be reached and, furthermore, it does not have much traffic. This is because a tunnel was built years ago as the main route to avoid the original path, which has almost no guardrails. This means that, today, motorcyclists can enjoy the road almost entirely alone. In addition to curves, high-speed sections, and the sense of freedom found there, this route will allow you to enjoy breathtaking views.

Transylvania (Romania)

Curiously, Romania remains one of the great unknowns of the continent, despite its beauty, history, and legends. For those who want to discover a country full of spectacular landscapes, castles, and charming villages while living an adventure, we have an unbeatable recommendation. The Transfagarasan Highway is about 35 kilometers long and runs through the highest mountains in the country. Its serpentine morphology has made it one of the most popular on the continent, and also one of the most demanding. A word of advice: don't try it in winter, as snow usually blocks the road.

From Bergen to Geiranger (Norway)

Norway is one of those destinations every two-wheel lover wants to visit at least once in their life. One of the most recommended routes is the one connecting Bergen and Geiranger, which is somewhat longer than the previous ones. Those who travel it have the chance to see many of the typical fjords of the Nordic country, including Sognefjorden, the longest and deepest in Norway. Additionally, as it is a long route that should be completed over several days, it allows you to visit different villages and experience roads with various characteristics.

North Coast 500 (Scotland)

The Scottish Highlands are the stars of this route. 500 miles (just over 800 kilometers) that allow you to tour the entire northern part of the country, soak up its history, culture, and mythology, visit castles built centuries ago and charming villages, and, of course, enjoy the incomparable beauty of its landscapes. We recommend taking it slow and using a long vacation to complete it. Once you start riding through Scotland, you will feel the need to stop constantly to explore and contemplate its nature.

Amalfi Coast (Italy)

We finish with a route we have mentioned on occasion, but it couldn't be missing from this top 5. From Naples to Salerno, riding the entire Amalfi Coast on a motorcycle is a pleasure you'll want to repeat whenever possible. For its beauty, of course, but also for the atmosphere, the gastronomy, and the great weather… There's a reason it is one of the most exclusive areas in all of Europe, filling up with celebrities as soon as summer arrives. Are you up for it?
