The Best Road Trips Around the World

Road trips are a great way to really get to know a country and to see more than just the major cities and tourist sites. Here are some of the best road trip routes around the world.

North Coast 500, Scotland

The North Coast 500 is an 830-kilometer route in the Scottish Highlands. It's recommended that travelers spend at least five to seven days driving it.

It starts in the city of Inverness and follows the coast around the north of Scotland before returning to Inverness again. Along the way, there are castles, whisky distilleries and beautiful scenery, including mountains, valleys and beaches.

Garden Route, South Africa

The Garden Route is on the south coast of South Africa. It starts in Mossel Bay and ends at Storms River, and is about 200 kilometers long. It's recommended that travelers spend three to even 14 days on the route because there is so much to see.

For example, travelers can visit the Shamwari Game Reserve for a chance to see elephants, lions and rhinos, while the route's lakes, mountains, forests and beaches are said to be the most beautiful part of the country.

Great Ocean Road, Australia

Australia's Great Ocean Road is along the south coast of Victoria. Travelers can start in Torquay, near Melbourne, and drive west to Port Fairy, or even further west to Nelson.

While the route could be driven in about four to six hours straight, there's a lot to see along the way. Travelers can visit Port Campbell to see the 12 Apostles, a group of rock towers in the sea — some of which are 45 meters tall. And at Grampians National Park, travelers can see rock art from 22,000 years ago.
