There's nothing quite like a good road trip, is there? What is a better way to explore a new part of the world, see the sights and experience magical scenery on your way? Here are some perfect roads that can take your Instagram feed to the next level.
Route 66
Some things never change. Even though Route 66 was officially removed from the US Highway System almost 40 years ago, it remains one of the world's most popular and culturally significant roads. Many sections of the road feature in the United States' Register of Historic Places, highlighting how important Route 66 is to American identity. Route 66,a must-visit for any road enthusiast, is the most-Instagrammed road in the world.
Abbey Road
Home to perhaps the most famous image in music history—the Beatles album cover—Camden's Abbey Road is near the Lord's Cricket Ground. Abbey Road is a pilgrimage(瞻仰) site for Beatles' fans around the world, most of whom look to recreate the iconic crossing photo! The studio where the Beatles recorded their eleventh album still remains active today.
Carretera Austral
Chile's Route 7 is also known as the Carretera Austral, which translates to the Southern Way. This 770-mile road provides access to Chilean Patagonia and is one of Chile's most sparsely populated areas—with fewer than one person per square kilometre on average! Carretera Austral has a range of scenery to enjoy, from the vast rainforest to the hanging glacier in Queulat National Park.
Great Ocean Road
Sprawling 150 miles across Australia's south-easterly coast, the Great Ocean Road is an incomparable drive for any road trip enthusiast. It is also the world's largest war memorial, making it a poignant(令人感伤的) but beautiful expedition. Built between 1919 and 1932 by Australian soldiers on their return from the First World War, the Great Ocean Road links the towns of Torquay and Allansford.
