Day 13 of your relaxed road trip in Romania is your departure day. If you have a flight to catch, you’ll drop off your rental car well in advance before your departure. Choose a late flight to enjoy a stress-free last day in Targu Mures.

Explore local shops for souvenirs to remember your trip or find unique gifts for loved ones.

If you're up for some more sightseeing, begin at Platoul Cornesti. This increasingly popular plateau is a popular place to see in the city.

Unwind and look back at the past 13 days of your relaxed road trip over a bite to eat. This is your chance to enjoy one last traditional meal in Targu Mures or just grab something light to keep you going.

Enjoy a lovely meal at Hotel Continental Forum, a top-rated place to have dinner tonight. Alternatively, if your taste buds call for something different, La Piazzetta is another top choice with a popular menu.

Give yourself enough time to wave goodbye to Targu Mures and begin your journey home. The unforgettable experiences you’ve collected along your 13-day relaxed road trip in Romania is a story you will tell for the rest of your life.
