Day 14 of your road trip in Germany is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Hanover 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 Friedrich Schiller. This increasingly popular sightseeing destination is a popular place to see in the city.

As your final day in Germany unfolds, enjoy a last-minute shopping spree in Hanover's best shopping area, Ernst-August-Galerie. Enjoy finding the perfect gift or keepsake to remind you of your wonderful trip to Germany.

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

Dine in style at CALMA - Bar & Lounge Hannover, a top recommendation for dinner tonight. Or, for a change of pace, Weinstube Leonardo boasts a menu that's sure to impress.

You’ll then say farewell to Hanover. 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 Germany!
