Spectacular Self-Drive Holidays

Since the rise of the automobile, the freedom of the road has been the ultimate way of experiencing a country. And, while the southern USA with its antebellum mansions and verdant plantations remains as the grandfather of all roadtrips, the world has woken up to the draw of New Zealand’s dramatic landscapes. Follow in the tiny footsteps of hobbits to discover the vast mountains, fjords and glaciers of its film-perfect wildernesses.

But, you don’t have to travel far to immerse yourself in cultural delights. In Portugal, visit the wine cellars of Porto and Lisbon’s terracotta jumble before reaching the sun-kissed Algarve or combine medieval hill towns in Tuscany and island fishing villages on the Amalfi Coast.
