On day 14 you have reached the last destination of your European road trip. Catch one last glimpse of Munich before it’s time to leave.

Depending on how much time you have before your departure, you may want to engage in some last-minute shopping or souvenir hunting. Get some unique items to remind you of your great European road trip across Germany and Switzerland. If shopping isn’t your thing, visit some of the lesser-known attractions you have yet to discover.

On your last day in Germany, take time to indulge in shopping at Munich’s popular marketplace, Maximilianstraße. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip. If you’re in the mood for luxury shopping, high-end stores await you.

If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Stachus, an eye-catching public square before you head out.

Get a last taste of Germany’s tasty traditional food. Choose from a curated list of the best local food and drink spots in Munich and enjoy what may be your last vacation meal of this trip. Look forward to recreating these distinct culinary experiences in your own kitchen later to remind you of your unforgettable road trip across Germany and Switzerland.

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

The time has come to say farewell to Munich for now. You will realize that you’re traveling home with more than you came with as you look back at your 14-day European road trip in Germany and Switzerland with fond memories. Safe travels!
