5 countries you can drive to in a day
Who said that a road trip abroad was a tricky task? There
are plenty of countries you can take your own car to and have the adventure of
a lifetime. You don’t have to drive for days to explore some of the most interesting
cities Europe has to offer – here are some places you can drive to from London
in a day or less.
France
Depending on where you go, this could be one of the quickest
journeys. If you want to stay around Calais, it’ll be a relatively short
journey – however, if you want to go to Paris you may have to add in a few
hours. It’s worth the drive, however, as France has lots of beautiful towns to
visit. You’ll need a few things in your car if you do this drive – a
breathalyser, a warning triangle and a reflective triangle are all required.
You also can’t use any apps that show you where speed cameras are.
Germany
This may be a bit further out but it’s still doable in a day
– and worth it. While Berlin might be a bit of a stretch, driving to Cologne is
much more manageable and is a beautiful city. If you fancy parking up the car
for the night, Cologne has the highest ratio of pubs to people in Germany, so
you won’t be short of a place to drink. If stunning architecture is your thing,
there’s a beautiful cathedral. You’ll also need a warning triangle and
reflective triangle, like in France.
Belgium
It may come as a surprise, but Belgium may be a quicker option
than Paris. With the border right next to Calais, it’s a short drive into the
country. There are plenty of beautiful towns to visit, however most people
recommend that you see the towns in the region of Flanders. Again, you’ll need
to do your research on what tools are mandatory to have in your car.
This small, tucked away country packs plenty of punch. It’s
a country with a lot of greenery and beautiful buildings. As it is a small
country, you will have much more opportunity to travel to different towns.
Perfect for any historian out there, as this country has a variety of castles
and is the only country left in the world that’s a Grand Duchy.
If you carefully plan your route, it is possible to drive to
Spain in a day – although you might want to split it over two if you want a
less intense drive. This drive will allow you to see landscapes that you might
not see without your car. It also gives you opportunity to see some of the
beautiful scenery France has to offer.
