Day 14 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 Odderøya Fort. This increasingly popular battlefield is a popular place to see in the city.

Make the most of your final day in Norway by visiting Kristiansand’s iconic markets and shopping establishments in the buzzing Sørlandssenteret. Secure the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends back home or buy yourself a remembrance of your amazing experience 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.

If you're in the mood to try something new, consider Q42, another top spot with a mouthwatering 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!
