Day 15 of your road trip in Denmark is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Aalborg 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, we recommend visiting Nordkraft, an eye-catching cultural center before you head out.
On your last day in Denmark, take time to indulge in shopping at Aalborg’s popular marketplace, Bispensgade. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip. Browse boutiques to find unique and stylish fashion pieces. Wrap up your shopping with a drink and some pastries at a cozy cafe.
Before you conclude your road trip in Denmark, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Aalborg.
Savor the flavors at Restaurant Orkideen, a top pick for dinner tonight. Alternatively, Restaurant Menéndez beckons with its unique menu offerings.
You’ll then say farewell to Aalborg. 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 Denmark!
