Day 15 of your road trip in Germany is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Leipzig 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 Demokratieglocke. This worthwhile monument is a popular place to see in the city.
Maximize your last day in Germany and go on a shopping spree in Leipzig’s shopping center, the lively Höfe am Brühl. Browse for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful journey in Germany.
Before you conclude your road trip in Germany, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Leipzig.
Savor the flavors at A Nam, a top pick for dinner tonight. Alternatively, Hotel Michaelis GmbH beckons with its unique menu offerings.
You’ll then say farewell to Leipzig. 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!
