4 Great Road Trip Destinations
The world is full of great destinations, but where can you drive to discover fun and excitement? Here are four ideas to get your motor running straight away.
Cape Town, South Africa
As you watch the dramatic form of Table Mountain rise up before you, you’ll understand why Cape Town is South Africa’s best road trip destination. The country’s cultural melting pot offers something for everyone, from the colourful district of Bo-Kaap or the stunning beaches. Don’t miss the penguins on Boulders Beach! This is also one of the best places in the world to go whale-watching.
Las Vegas, USA
There’s nowhere quite like Las Vegas, a beacon of energy in the middle of the arid Nevada desert. Las Vegas is all about entertainment, so why not try your hand at poker with some of the world’s finest players? It’s best not to go in cold, but happily Poker Travel has a handy list of dos and don’ts.
Nice, France
The French Riviera is known for superb beaches, perfect weather and effortless style – but it’s also a place of beautiful fishing villages, welcoming cafés and excellent watersports. A great road trip option is to start from Marseille, visiting classic resorts such as St Tropez and Cannes – home of the world-famous film festival each May. Nice itself offers fun aplenty, from opera to boat trips.
Mumbai, India
The 90-mile highway from Pune is one of India’s best driver’s roads. Mumbai is nicknamed the City of Dreams, and it’s the best place in India to discover the country’s urban music scene. Delicious food can be easily found without breaking the bank, while shopping for antiques or spices in one of the city’s many markets is an exciting experience in itself. This is India’s most fashionable city, too, so make sure you look your best as you drive in!
