On day 15 you have reached the last destination of your European road trip. Catch one last glimpse of Zurich before it’s time to leave.

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, France, and Italy. If shopping isn’t your thing, visit some of the lesser-known attractions you have yet to discover.

Make the most of your final day in Switzerland by visiting Zurich’s iconic markets and shopping establishments in the buzzing Bahnhofstrasse. Secure the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends back home or buy yourself a remembrance of your amazing experience in Switzerland. Elevate your style with pieces from high-end retail stores.

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

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, France, and Italy.

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 15-day European road trip in Switzerland, France, and Italy with fond memories. Safe travels!
