Day 15 of your road trip in Germany is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Nuremberg 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, we recommend visiting Nuremberg Castle, a historic castle before you head out.

As your final day in Germany unfolds, enjoy a last-minute shopping spree in Nuremberg's best shopping area, Handwerkerhof Nürnberg. 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 Nuremberg.

Enjoy a lovely meal at Chong's Diner, a top-rated place to have dinner tonight. Alternatively, if your taste buds call for something different, Zum Albrecht Dürer Haus is another top choice with a popular menu.

You’ll then say farewell to Nuremberg. 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!
