Day 15 of your road trip in Romania is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Iași 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 Anastasie Fătu Botanical Garden, a serene botanical garden before you head out.
Explore local shops for souvenirs to remember your trip or find unique gifts for loved ones.
Before you conclude your road trip in Romania, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Iași.
You’ll then say farewell to Iași. 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 Romania!
