Day 14 of your road trip in Italy is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Bologna before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.

Make the most of your final day in Italy by visiting Bologna’s iconic markets and shopping establishments. Secure the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends back home or buy yourself a remembrance of your amazing experience in Italy.

Start your adventure at Tombs Of The Glossators Of Bologna. This often recommended monument is a must-visit for travelers looking for a unique holiday experience.

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

Enjoy a lovely meal at Pappare' - Bologna, a top-rated place to have dinner tonight. Alternatively, if your taste buds call for something different, Mister Coffee Bistrò is another top choice with a popular menu.

You’ll then say farewell to Bologna. 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 Italy!
