Day 12 of your road trip in Finland is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Oulu 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 Mannerheim Park, an instagrammable park before you head out.

As your final day in Finland unfolds, enjoy a last-minute shopping spree in Oulu's best shopping area, Rotuaari. Enjoy finding the perfect gift or keepsake to remind you of your wonderful trip to Finland. When you need a break, visit a cafe and relax with a cup of coffee or tea.

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

You’ll then say farewell to Oulu. 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 Finland!
