Borders are often just abstract lines separating cultures and people who have more in common than that which divides them.
For anybody with the luxury of time, we urge you to go further and transcend the world’s man-made borders, making the most of your time away and gaining a much wider perspective on the region you are visiting.
Here are a hand-picked selection of multi-country holiday ideas:
