Day 13 of your relaxed road trip in Germany is your departure day. If you have a flight to catch, you’ll drop off your rental car well in advance before your departure. Choose a late flight to enjoy a stress-free last day in Bremen.

Make the most of your final day in Germany by visiting Bremen’s iconic markets and shopping establishments in the buzzing Schnoor Quarter. Secure the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends back home or buy yourself a remembrance of your amazing experience in Germany. You can also browse through boutiques for stylish fashion choices.

If you're up for some more sightseeing, begin at Bürgerpark. This beloved park is a popular place to see in the city.

Unwind and look back at the past 13 days of your relaxed road trip over a bite to eat. This is your chance to enjoy one last traditional meal in Bremen or just grab something light to keep you going.

Treat yourself to a delicious dinner at Cafe and Bar Celona, an excellent option for tonight's dining. Looking for something different? Aioli im Schnoor NEU offers a tantalizing alternative with its diverse menu. And don’t miss Gasthof zum Kaiser Friedrich.
