Day 15 of your road trip in Italy is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Naples 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 Ovo Castle, a romantic castle before you head out.
As your final day in Italy unfolds, enjoy a last-minute shopping spree in Naples's best shopping area, Via Toledo. Enjoy finding the perfect gift or keepsake to remind you of your wonderful trip to Italy.
Before you conclude your road trip in Italy, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Naples.
If you're in the mood for something new, try Osteria Il Gobbetto, another premier location with a delectable menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Naples. 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 Italy!
