Today's tourist can easily and comfortably see some of the world great countries and sites through the wonders of modern transport.

To celebrate modern transport and how far things have come, we've created an infographic comparing some of the most iconic tourist journeys today to the experience of someone making the same trip in the past. We've looked at today's journey across Route 66, London to New York and island hoping across Japan to compare the time required, and the transport available to give you a flavour of how things really were for travellers in the past.
