Day 11 of your road trip in Romania is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Targu Mures 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 Platoul Cornesti. This frequently visited plateau is a popular place to see in the city.

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

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

If you're in the mood for something new, try Cuza Voda market, another premier location with a delectable menu.

You’ll then say farewell to Targu Mures. 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!
