Some travelers are now rethinking their plans to fly because they have seen the Covid-19 variant of the highly transmissible micron.

Road trips also give travelers the chance to “clear their minds — something that many will be keen to do after almost two years of being cooped up inside,” she added.

Holidu created this list to encourage travelers to take to the roads. It’s “Cross-Country Road Trip IndexPublished December 12, 2008. We analyzed various factors, including road quality and gas prices in 118 countries.

The website also considered the number and quality of UNESCO World Heritage Sites within a country, along with the ranking of the 100 most populated cities worldwide. BestCities.org.

All of these factors were equally weighted in the ranking. Benson said that when two countries are tied, the one with the most road infrastructure won the title. This is because Benson believes “having good roads to drive on” is an important factor for every roadtripper.

These are the five top countries, as well as famous routes to each country.
