what's it like to drive through europe

[southeastastra]

?

where abouts? We do it a lot, and enjoy it. Germany has the best motorway stops [very clean bathrooms] Italy has some good ones too.

beginners from uk though like germany and have been there

Go for it,my wonderful dad did this after i did a levels- we did france,belgium,sweitzerland italy and germany.

Was brilliant

France, in my limited experience has excellent roads and is well signposted. Lots of picnic areas as well as service stations.

Tuscany is madness on the motorways, though the north is better.

Yes we drove past Florence and that was bonkers. Terrible traffic. France and Germany v nice.

Love driving round Europe - my fave kind of holiday! Go for it! Sitting down with a map and planning out a route is fun and you can spend ages thinking about where you'd like to go.

My TOP tip is to get your hotel sorted by about 6pm each evening, nothing worse than scrabbling around for a hotel at 9pm+ when you are tired, hot and hungry...

I would pre book all accommodation, especially if you have children with you.

Just got back from doing this. We do it every year with a car full of kids (5 of them)!! France v good, Belgium ok, Spain ok. Really v easy and thoroughly recommended. Agree to make sure you pre-book all acccommodation when travelling with kids though!
