A driving holiday can be just about the most perfect holiday experience you can design - provided you have a comfortable vehicle that is, whether four wheeled or two. Driving holidays and road trips give you the freedom to roam, the chance to discover little visited off-the-beaten-track villages and sights, as well as the opportunity to enjoy it all at your own pace, amidst often spectacular scenery. Serendipity is the watchword here - an advantage of old style travel that is so often lost in the modern era of packages and set itineraries. A driving holiday offers all this and more.
Here we have collected the world’s most scenic routes, from the white beaches of the Pacific Coast Highway to mountain passes , from ancient pilgrim routes to majestic desert highways.
