Day 15 of your road trip in Italy is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Verona 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 Porta Borsari, a history-steeped historical landmark before you head out.
As your final day in Italy unfolds, enjoy a last-minute shopping spree in Verona's best shopping area, Via Mazzini. Enjoy finding the perfect gift or keepsake to remind you of your wonderful trip to Italy. Explore high-end stores offering an exquisite selection of luxury items.
Before you conclude your road trip in Italy, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Verona.
If you're eager to try something different, consider La Piazzetta Osteria Enoteca, another top spot with a tantalizing menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Verona. 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!
