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 Switzerland, Austria, and the Czech Republic. If shopping isn’t your thing, visit some of the lesser-known attractions you have yet to discover.
On your last day in Switzerland, take time to indulge in shopping at Zurich’s popular marketplace, Sihlcity. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip.
If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Polybahn, a breathtaking tramway before you head out.
Get a last taste of Switzerland’s tasty traditional food. Choose from a curated list of the best local food and drink spots in Zurich 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 Switzerland, Austria, and the Czech Republic.
If you're eager to try something different, consider Kafi Dihei, another top spot with a tantalizing 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 14-day European road trip in Switzerland, Austria, and the Czech Republic with fond memories. Safe travels!
