Day 13 of your road trip in Norway is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Kristiansand 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 The Inverted Boat. This locally appreciated art installation is a popular place to see in the city.

Maximize your last day in Norway and go on a shopping spree in Kristiansand’s shopping center, the lively Sørlandssenteret. Browse for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful journey in Norway.

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

Enjoy a lovely meal at Spiren plantebasert mat og drikke, a top-rated place to have dinner tonight. Alternatively, if your taste buds call for something different, Midnight Cafe is another top choice with a popular menu.

You’ll then say farewell to Kristiansand. 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 Norway!
