Day 12 of your relaxed road trip in Estonia is your departure day. If you have a flight to catch, you’ll drop off your rental car well in advance before your departure. Choose a late flight to enjoy a stress-free last day in Tallinn.

Explore local shops for souvenirs to remember your trip or find unique gifts for loved ones.

If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Freedom Square, a breathtaking public square before you head out.

Unwind and look back at the past 12 days of your relaxed road trip over a bite to eat. This is your chance to enjoy one last traditional meal in Tallinn or just grab something light to keep you going.

Have a fantastic dining experience at Pirosmani Restaurant, a highly recommended choice for tonight's dinner. If you're looking to mix things up, Suliko Restaurant offers an enticing alternative with its varied menu.

Give yourself enough time to wave goodbye to Tallinn and begin your journey home. The unforgettable experiences you’ve collected along your 12-day relaxed road trip in Estonia is a story you will tell for the rest of your life.
