Day 15 of your road trip in Italy is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Florence before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.

One of the best things to do on your last day is to explore Oltrarno, a neighborhood that you shouldn't miss while in Florence. Take your time to uncover its best sides and enjoy its proximity to many of the area’s best attractions.

For a shopping spree in Florence, we recommend the lively Via de' Tornabuoni. Here, you'll find a range of shops you can browse for some souvenir shopping. Discover boutiques with stylish fashion choices to upgrade your wardrobe. You can also explore high-end shops for luxury items.

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

If you're in the mood for something new, try Djària - American Bar, another premier location with a delectable menu.

You’ll then say farewell to Florence. 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!
