3. The Autobahn

The famous German highways are made for people who like high speeds – for three quarters of the highway, there are no speed limits at all. This means that some of the highest speed driving, outside of Formula One and NASCAR tracks, is only possible on these tracks. This, combined with jaw-dropping views of the German countryside, make the Autobahn a sight in themselves. For your safety, take lane driving seriously here – use the right lanes for driving and the left ones only when you want to overtake.
