Day 11 of your road trip in Romania is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Timișoara 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 Piața Unirii, a detailed public square before you head out.

Maximize your last day in Romania and go on a shopping spree in Timișoara’s shopping center, the lively Iulius Town. Browse for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful journey in Romania.

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

If you're in the mood to try something new, consider EL MAGUEY, another top spot with a mouthwatering menu.

You’ll then say farewell to Timișoara. 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!
