Road trip guide

Planning a road trip to the sun in Europe?

The smartest road trip destination is usually not the hottest one on paper. It is the place that combines reachable driving time, enough sunshine and a weather feel that makes leaving worthwhile.

Road trip logic

What matters on the road

Driving time vs weather gain

Four hours for much better sun is often smarter than ten hours for slightly warmer weather.

Not temperature only

A place can be warm but still feel poor because of wind or showers.

Make it visual

That is why a map is better than a long list of weather forecasts.

Useful stops

Places that often make sense

Genoa

Useful if you want to move quickly from northern Italy toward the coast.

Nice

A relatively easy shift toward clearer coast weather.

Split

Interesting if you want a sharper Mediterranean feeling.
