Day 11 of your road trip in Finland is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Helsinki before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.

One of the best things to do on your last day is to explore Punavuori, a neighborhood that captures the true essence of Helsinki. Take your time to uncover its best sides and enjoy its proximity to many of the area’s best attractions.

As your final day in Finland unfolds, enjoy a last-minute shopping spree in Helsinki's best shopping area, Kamppi Shopping Centre. Enjoy finding the perfect gift or keepsake to remind you of your wonderful trip to Finland.

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

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

You’ll then say farewell to Helsinki. 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 Finland!
