If you’re a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings books, you’ll be happy to know that this road leads to Mt. Doom (Mt. Ngauruhoe in real life).

Provence (France)

If you’ve always wanted to see the French countryside up close, make sure to include Provence, France in your list. Charming craft boutiques, antique shops, vineyards, cherry orchards, and olive groves make the town’s back roads the perfect route for an afternoon road trip. Aside from shopping for chunky blocks of lavender soap and bottles of olive oil, you can also sample some of the region’s best wines at the local restaurants.

Jamaica’s Port Royal was notoriously known as a haven for pirates who targeted Spanish ships filled with New World treasures. Today, this picturesque port is a popular tourist destination for beach lovers, and is the starting point of the Pirate Route, a one-of-a-kind road trip destination. From Port Royal, drive to Kingston, Negril, Round Hill, Ocho Rios, and back to Kingston. These cities and towns offer great ocean views, unique architecture, and interesting relics of the region’s rich history.
