It's is rare for a trip to be nothing but straight lines connecting the centre of towns and cities together. But this is all other travel mapping websites offer. We at Grand Tours Atlas, being trekkers and travellers ourselves, want to truly show the route we took off the beaten track, or the windy road taken, and we know you do to.

With us you can create as much detail into the paths you took as you want. You can plot every turn and straight and mark down every place you visited or passed by.

Or you can search through the tours of other travellers to see the actual hardship they took crossing a mountain pass or the leisurely route taken down the spine of Italty taking in all the famous hill towns, and use them as inspiration for planning your own next Grand Tour.

There are a lot of places on this world: mountains, rivers, palaces, pyramids, hotels and restaurants, parks, wildlife sanctuaries, stunning vistas, open plains, tiny hidden temples, cliff hugging villages and so much more.

Grand Tours Atlas lets you find them by simply drawing a shape on a map - it's easier than typing! Quickly find the places you want and add them to your own Tour; or if it isn't there already, be the first to create it with your perspective and then everyone else can find and view it too.

Or you can use our ever growing place database to plan your next big trip. Read about it, jump to its own real homepage and get all the information.
