Day 13 of your relaxed road trip in Denmark is your departure day. If you have a flight to catch, you’ll drop off your rental car well in advance before your departure. Choose a late flight to enjoy a stress-free last day in Aalborg.

As your final day in Denmark unfolds, enjoy a last-minute shopping spree in Aalborg's best shopping area, Friis Shoppingcenter. Enjoy finding the perfect gift or keepsake to remind you of your wonderful trip to Denmark.

At the top of the list of things to do today is to explore Bispensgade, a street that captures the true essence of Aalborg. Take your time to uncover its best sides and enjoy its proximity to many of the area’s best attractions.

Unwind and look back at the past 13 days of your relaxed road trip over a bite to eat. This is your chance to enjoy one last traditional meal in Aalborg or just grab something light to keep you going.

Dine in style at Il Ristorante Fellini, a top recommendation for dinner tonight. Or, for a change of pace, Café KlosterTorvet boasts a menu that's sure to impress.

Give yourself enough time to wave goodbye to Aalborg and begin your journey home. The unforgettable experiences you’ve collected along your 13-day relaxed road trip in Denmark is a story you will tell for the rest of your life.
