Day 13 of your relaxed road trip in Germany 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 Dresden.
Maximize your last day in Germany and go on a shopping spree in Dresden’s shopping center, the lively Neustadt District. Browse for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful journey in Germany. Discover boutiques with stylish fashion choices to upgrade your wardrobe.
If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Altmarkt, a photogenic public square before you head out.
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 Dresden or just grab something light to keep you going.
Enjoy a lovely meal at Bräuhaus am Waldschlösschen, a top-rated place to have dinner tonight. Alternatively, if your taste buds call for something different, Zapfanstalt is another top choice with a popular menu.
Give yourself enough time to wave goodbye to Dresden and begin your journey home. The unforgettable experiences you’ve collected along your 13-day relaxed road trip in Germany is a story you will tell for the rest of your life.
