Day 15 of your road trip in Austria is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Graz before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
If you're up for some more sightseeing, begin at Clock Tower In Graz. This curiosity-inducing monument is a popular place to see in the city.
Maximize your last day in Austria and go on a shopping spree in Graz’s shopping center, the lively Murpark. Browse for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful journey in Austria.
Before you conclude your road trip in Austria, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Graz.
Treat yourself to a delightful dinner at Café Greenhouse, highly recommended for tonight's dining. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, why not try Lend-Platzl? It's another excellent option with a diverse menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Graz. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Austria!
