]]>Route
Choose a route that you like; make sure there’s access along the route to fuel, food, places to sleep, and more.
Timing
Estimate how many driving hours you would like to do in a day, and incorporate into your day additional activities such as hiking, local attractions, eating, and of course sightseeing.
Soundtrack
Prepare a soundtrack that will accompany you on the trip, since sometimes there is no radio reception on some of the routes. The soundtrack will follow you long after the trip is over and will be full of pleasant memories from the trip.
Take your time, enjoy the scenery, the towns you pass along the way, the little experiences you will accumulate during the trip. They are equally important as the destination you are traveling to.

Since the beginning, it has hosted many famous artists and bands, but in recent years the lineup has mostly focused on electronic music and bringing famous names of the DJ world, making its Dance Arena one of the strongest music stages dedicated to this genre, hosting performers such as David Guetta and Nina Krawitz.
