Day 11 of your road trip in Romania is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Sibiu before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.

One of the best things to do on your last day is to explore Strada Nicolae Bălcescu, a street that captures the true essence of Sibiu. Take your time to uncover its best sides and enjoy its proximity to many of the area’s best attractions.

Make the most of your final day in Romania by visiting Sibiu’s iconic markets and shopping establishments in the buzzing Promenada Sibiu Shopping City. Secure the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends back home or buy yourself a remembrance of your amazing experience in Romania.

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

You’ll then say farewell to Sibiu. 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 Romania!
