Looking back over the past 30 to 40 years, it’s fair to say the must-take holiday staples have changed somewhat. Whereas once you wouldn’t have stepped foot on an airplane without your trusty Polaroid camera and a copy of Reader’s Digest, these days your camera is built into your mobile phone and you’ll probably spend most of the flight watching a film (or playing games on said mobile phone).

Europe is home to some truly spectacular landscapes. From immense, ice-capped mountain ranges to vast stretches of lush woodlands, each location brings a brand-new driving experience. As public transport can only take you so far, it’s time to get behind the wheel of your holiday rental car and explore the lands via these unforgettable scenic roads in Europe.
