Best places to take a road trip

1. Grand Canyon

Arizona and Nevada, United States

The Grand Canyon is a famous natural landmark with an impressive hike that was created by the Colorado River over millions of years. The canyon is 277 miles long, 18 miles wide, and a mile deep on average. Hiking to the bottom of the canyon can take about 10-12 hours for a fit individual, and hikers must be properly prepared beforehand. The grandeur of the canyon is something that you won’t soon forget. One must see this place at least once in his or her lifetime.

2. Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

Vietnam

The city of Saigon is the capital of Vietnam and is one of the most visited cities in this part of the world. It boasts enough museums and cultural attractions to keep even the most dedicated art lover occupied for weeks, but what’s even more impressive than the famous monuments are all the little backstreet markets selling everything from food to clothing. The cuisine in this city is enough to make any foodie salivate with desire, and the best experience is to have the food served out of a “bun” (a basket shaped like a bowl).

3. The Great Barrier Reef

Australia

The Great Barrier Reef is one of the most impressive natural formations in the world. The reef can be seen from outer space, and its dimension makes it the largest living organism on earth. Most people take their first look at the reef from their hotel or resort, but getting out and exploring is also a rewarding experience. One of the best ways to do this is to take a snorkeling tour that takes you out around the Great Barrier Reef and shows you its beauty.
