Road Trips: Routes, Stops & Room to Explore
A good road trip is more than the line between two places. Discover routes, landscapes and stops that make the journey worth taking, from coastal scenery to mountain towns. Use the stories here to decide where you would like to linger rather than simply how far you can drive.
Build your days around realistic driving time, breaks and somewhere comfortable to finish. Allow for unfamiliar roads and changing conditions, and keep a shorter alternative in mind when a route turns out to need more time than expected.
Start with Passage du Gois: France’s Tidal Road, Explained and Lærdal Tunnel: Norway’s Long Drive Through the Mountain.
