Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia
When you pass through this road, rock formations, clear skies, and a view of Australian waters will welcome you. Aside from these picturesque sights, did you know that this rugged coastline is also known for being the world’s largest war memorial?

Trollstigen, Norway
This road with marvels culled from a fantasy series is a sight to behold. Trollstigen or Trolls’ Path has 11 hairpin turns that will reward a traveler with a view of the breathtaking Stigfossen Waterfalls and the valleys below.

Highway 1, California
Passengers on a road trip will enjoy the sights of Pacific Ocean whitecaps. Though the area can get congested with vehicles, the Big Sur’s views are surely a good way to ease traffic woes.

Appreciating the road’s scenes even when they’re far from the ultimate destination is a good way to take in a long and winding journey.
