Tuscany is one of the most famous and beautiful regions of Italy, for a good reason.

From cute ancient cities to rolling fields of green, Tuscany as something to offer everyone.

4.Catalonia (Spain)

The sun, sea, beautiful beaches are awaiting you ! You can leave from Barcelona and drive along the coast through Tossa de Mar, Palamos, Rosas, Cadaques and back to Barcelona through Besalu and Girona. You will make an unforgettable holiday road trip in Spain.

Your Spain self-drive begins into the beautiful Spanish countryside. The rolling hills of Tarragona, anchored by a port city with the same name, are home to a variety of medieval jewels and picturesque vineyards. You’d never be able to explore these provincial villages on a group tour, so make the most of your wheels and don’t miss a thing! Continue on to vibrant Valencia, whose own culinary traditions have found its place in history and on the itineraries for more than a few Spain trips, before ending your journey in lively Alicante.

5. France

There’s something magical in driving through its ever-changing landscape and climates and, if you fall in love with one of the country’s many picturesque towns and villages, there is the freedom to simply stop and explore.

Head west of Bordeaux and you’ll reach the Atlantic Coast. Here, in the Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park, the beaches will be some of the most impressive you’ve seen with white sands that seem to go on for miles and unspoiled views of wild grasses. Start at the attractive town of Arcachon, which lies on Arcachon Bay, and head south towards the Spanish border. Along the way, stop at the incredible Dune du Pilat – Europe’s tallest sand dune – and Biarritz, the surfing capital of France. Take your time, find hidden beach spots, enjoy the slower pace of life and, of course, indulge in great seafood.
