On day 13 you have reached the last destination of your European road trip. Catch one last glimpse of Sofia 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 Bulgaria, Serbia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina. If shopping isn’t your thing, visit some of the lesser-known attractions you have yet to discover.

On your last day in Bulgaria, take time to indulge in shopping at Sofia’s popular marketplace, Paradise Center. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip.

If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting North Park, an enchanting park before you head out.

Get a last taste of Bulgaria’s tasty traditional food. Choose from a curated list of the best local food and drink spots in Sofia 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 Bulgaria, Serbia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina.

The time has come to say farewell to Sofia 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 Bulgaria, Serbia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina with fond memories. Safe travels!
