If you're up for some more sightseeing, begin at Pantheon. This wondrous monument is a hotspot among locals.

Take some time to indulge in shopping at Rome’s popular marketplace, Via Condotti. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip. If you’re in the mood for luxury shopping, high-end stores await you.

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

Savor the flavors at Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese, a top pick for dinner tonight. Alternatively, Centro beckons with its unique menu offerings.

You’ll then say farewell to Rome. 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!
