Get The Inside Scoop On European Roads: ViaMichelin

The company with the poofy white mascot provides extensive information on millions of miles of European asphalt. ViaMichelin helps travelers plan and coordinate road trips across the continent.

You’ll be able to find out where the best rest stops are, get maps and updates on road conditions, and get a sense of where you may encounter speed traps. ViaMichelin also calculates the price the kilometers will cost you at the gas pump. (It will help to select a rental car that will go far on a liter of gas.)

Those of you stateside can use the Low Gas Price Google widget to find low prices in your area, Google Maps to get traffic and street level views of various cities, and Trippish to get weather reports on along your course.

    However, from my personal experience I don’t see why you would drive around in Europe if you are on vacation. Public transportation,inside cities, is awesome and trains are pretty cool too. On top of that you got discount airlines like RyanAir that would allow you to travel between countries for less than a 100 euros.

    Thats my take.
