Day 15 of your road trip in Portugal is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Lisbon 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 Santa Justa Lift, an awe-inspiring observation deck before you head out.

Make the most of your final day in Portugal by visiting Lisbon’s iconic markets and shopping establishments in the buzzing Chiado. Secure the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends back home or buy yourself a remembrance of your amazing experience in Portugal. Savor your final moments in Portugal at a cozy cafe while relaxing with a cup of coffee or tea.

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

You’ll then say farewell to Lisbon. 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 Portugal!
