These spectacular paved tar creations from all over the world are an absolute pleasure to drive on!
The Overseas Highway, Florida Keys
Imagine a stunning road that leaps from island to island, across 42 bridges over the unbelievably blue ocean. Built in 1938 along the course of an old railroad that was destroyed by a hurricane, this road may be old but it's stunningly well-kept and an absolute pleasure to drive through.
It's essentially a five hour drive over water and if you manage to coincide a part of your trip with a sunrise or sunset, chances are you'll just end up wishing you could cruise along this road forever! The only downside? If you happen to be here in holiday season, the traffic might bother a few but for the most part, the scenery is so spectacular there's no road rage here and being stuck hardly feels like a prison.
Red Rock Scenic Road, Arizona
Clearly the US' natural resources combined with their technical know-how have ensured some beautiful sprawling roads in its heart and the Red Rock Scenic Road is definitely in the top three.
It winds through Sedona's Red Rock County and offers a marvelous view of the rocks that are as rare as they are beautiful. Little wonder then as to why they call it the 'museum without walls.'
A drive which can still somehow connect you with nature this strongly is as unique as it is incredible so if you're ever passing through Sedona, you know what you absolutely can't miss.
Iroha-Zaka, Japan
This one is almost deadly to look at in its picture form but in reality, the 48 curves strong road is both thrilling and exalted to drive through.
The road connects central Nikko to Oku-Nikko and each one of the 48 letters is matched by the 48 letters of the ancient Japanese alphabet. Nothing like a little old-school culture to improve your drive even more, right?
