Before you conclude your road trip in Germany, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Berlin.
Dine in style at Curry 61, a top recommendation for dinner tonight. Or, for a change of pace, Gasthaus Krombach boasts a menu that's sure to impress.
You’ll then say farewell to Berlin. 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!
