On this 4-hour trip you’ll see Egeskov Castle, which is Europe’s best preserved Renaissance water castle. You’ll also find a Classic Car and Motorbike exhibition, featuring vehicles from the 19th century, up until the 1980s.

After Egeskov, the next stop is the 17th. century Valdemar Castle that’s surrounded by a beautiful natural landscape. Finally, your adventure will take you to the idyllic market town of Faaborg. Here you’ll find a town steeped in history with its narrow-cobbled streets, timber-framed merchant houses and Faaborg’s landmark, the Bell Tower.

However, if you’re planning to go camping on your journey, then we’d recommend the Netherlands. Its ranking in our index makes it the campsite capital of Europe! This ranking was measured by dividing the number of campsites by the length of the road networks (km), which was then multiplied by 10,000, which equates to the Netherlands having 75 campsites per 10,000km.

According to TripAdvisor, the best camping spot can be found in Rijinsburg at Vakantiepark Koningshof. Its central location is an ideal starting place for those wanting to experience the Netherlands. The site is 15 minutes from Leiden, 30 minutes from The Hague, and a 40-minute drive to Amsterdam.

If you’d prefer a warmer climate, then take a tour of Comino, the smallest of the Maltese islands measuring at 3.5 square kilometres. Known for its stunning Blue Lagoon, a sheltered bay with clear, aquamarine waters and sandy beaches, Comino is a must-visit for those who want to relax after some of the excitement a road trip can bring.

If relaxing isn’t for you, then Comino can still bring a sense of adventure as you can kayak from Gozo to Comino, exploring caves, gorgeous bays, and rock formations along the way.
