Day 15 of your road trip in Austria is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Linz before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
At the top of the list of things to do today is to explore Landstraße, a street that captures the true essence of Linz. Take your time to uncover its best sides and enjoy its proximity to many of the area’s best attractions.
On your last day in Austria, take time to indulge in shopping at Linz’s popular marketplace, Arkade Linz. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip. Browse boutiques to find unique and stylish fashion pieces.
Before you conclude your road trip in Austria, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Linz.
Enjoy a lovely meal at Teesalon Madame Wu, a top-rated place to have dinner tonight. Alternatively, if your taste buds call for something different, Leberkas-Pepi Linz Rathausgasse is another top choice with a popular menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Linz. 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 Austria!
