Day 15 of your road trip in Switzerland is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Geneva before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
If you're up for some more sightseeing, begin at Brunswick Monument. This up-and-coming monument is a popular place to see in the city.
Make the most of your final day in Switzerland by visiting Geneva’s iconic markets and shopping establishments in the buzzing Rue du Rhône. 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.
Before you conclude your road trip in Switzerland, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Geneva.
If you're in the mood to try something new, consider Café de Paris - Chez Boubier, another top spot with a mouthwatering menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Geneva. 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 Switzerland!
