Day 14 of your road trip in Italy is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Perugia 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 Etruscan Arch, a picture-perfect historical landmark before you head out.
Maximize your last day in Italy and go on a shopping spree in Perugia’s shopping center. Browse for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful journey in Italy.
Before you conclude your road trip in Italy, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Perugia.
If you're in the mood to try something new, consider Elfo Pub Perugia, another top spot with a mouthwatering menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Perugia. 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!
