How it's used
Refers specifically to the experience or the duration of being on the road rather than the destination itself. It carries a slightly more literary or formal tone compared to the everyday word 旅行, which is used as both a noun and a verb. You will often hear it in well wishes or when reflecting on the quality of a past trip.

Common mistake
Avoid using it as a verb. While 旅行 can function as a verb meaning to travel, 旅途 is strictly a noun and cannot be used to describe the act of traveling.
