Day 12 of your road trip in Germany is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Nuremberg 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 Ehekarussell. This curiosity-inducing art installation is a popular place to see in the city.

Make the most of your final day in Germany by visiting Nuremberg’s iconic markets and shopping establishments in the buzzing City-Point Nürnberg. Secure the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends back home or buy yourself a remembrance of your amazing experience in Germany.

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

Dine in style at Chong's Diner, a top recommendation for dinner tonight. Or, for a change of pace, Zum Albrecht Dürer Haus boasts a menu that's sure to impress.

You’ll then say farewell to Nuremberg. 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 Germany!
