Description
About the book. Epic Road Trips of Europe provides inspiration for 50 road trips through European landscapes, cities, and regions. Lonely Planet uses personal accounts to show how the journey is experienced from the road, ranging from a few hours’ excursion to a week or more. Route Napoleon, the Wild Atlantic Way, and a summer campervan trip in Finnish Lapland are among the ideas that can inspire you to set out.
Contents. The selection ranges from Albania and Bulgaria to Denmark’s Jutland, the Dolomites, Iceland’s Ring Road, and Norway’s west coast between Bergen and Kristiansund. Each main trip features a personal story, grading, photographs, and maps. Practical fact boxes cover timing, car rental, access, and what you may need to bring. Suggestions for accommodation, food, and detours make it possible to see more sides of the area, while similar routes provide ideas if you wish to explore further.
Who is this book suitable for? The book is suitable for those who wish to plan their own road trip and find an itinerary that allows for stops along the way. You can compare short routes with longer journeys and choose what suits your time and interests. The personal texts provide background for the experiences, while maps and planning material offer a place to start. The hardback edition also serves as a gift for road trip enthusiasts, or as a book to browse with travel companions before deciding on a direction.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to select experiences you truly desire and see them in context with the rest of the trip. A plan with fewer stops can provide more time to get to know each place. Browse with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to achieve and what you want to have time to experience. Also, allow certain days for breaks and detours. A physical book is excellent to return to when discussing the next leg of the journey.
