Thinking of going on a road trip? TikTok has you covered. If you search the term #roadtrip on the social media platform, you’ll find at least 11.2 billion hits, so you know there is tons of travel inspo to choose from! But with so much content, it can get a little overwhelming…

Thankfully, the guys at Auto Trader in the UK have analyzed the data and compiled a list of the top places around the world to hit the road. 

Route 66 — United States

It’s hardly surprising that Route 66 ranked as the most popular road trip destination. After all, the highway that travels cross-country, from Chicago to Santa Monica, was the inspiration behind Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. With dozens of quirky motels and peculiar sites, you definitely won’t be bored.

Big Sur — United States

The coastal region of California is a sight to behold. Known for its rugged mountains, redwood forests, and beaches, Big Sur has been deemed “an isolated stretch of road, mythic in reputation.” Be sure to heck out the Bixby Creek Bridge and Point Sur Lightstation.

Wild Atlantic Way — Ireland

Stepping away from the States, and stretching from Cork to Donegal, the Wild Atlantic Way is the longest road trip in Ireland. The 1,500-mile journey includes cliffs, beaches, hiking spots, and a dark sky reserve!
