Day 15 of your road trip in Estonia is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Tallinn 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 St Olaf's Church. This intriguing church is a popular place to see in the city.

Make the most of your final day in Estonia by visiting Tallinn’s iconic markets and shopping establishments in the buzzing Solaris Centre. Secure the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends back home or buy yourself a remembrance of your amazing experience in Estonia.

Before you conclude your road trip in Estonia, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Tallinn.

Dine in style at Swissôtel Tallinn, a top recommendation for dinner tonight. Or, for a change of pace, Rixwell Collection Savoy Boutique Hotel boasts a menu that's sure to impress.

You’ll then say farewell to Tallinn. 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 Estonia!
