Day 15 of your road trip in Italy is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Venice 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, begin at Grand Canal. This beloved street is a popular place to see in the city.
As your final day in Italy unfolds, enjoy a last-minute shopping spree in Venice's best shopping area, Rialto Market. Enjoy finding the perfect gift or keepsake to remind you of your wonderful trip to Italy.
Before you conclude your road trip in Italy, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Venice.
Treat yourself to a delicious dinner at Cantina Do Spade, an excellent option for tonight's dining. Looking for something different? Trattoria Al Gazzettino offers a tantalizing alternative with its diverse menu. And don’t miss Local.
You’ll then say farewell to Venice. 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!
