Look forward to recreating these distinct culinary experiences in your own kitchen later to remind you of your unforgettable road trip across Switzerland, France, and Spain.

Enjoy a lovely meal at Alpenrose, a top-rated place to have dinner tonight. Alternatively, if your taste buds call for something different, Kafi Dihei is another top choice with a popular menu.

The time has come to say farewell to Zurich for now. You will realize that you’re traveling home with more than you came with as you look back at your 13-day European road trip in Switzerland, France, and Spain with fond memories. Safe travels!
