Day 15 of your road trip in the Netherlands is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Amsterdam 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 Dam Square. This notable public square is a popular place to see in the city.

As your final day in the Netherlands unfolds, enjoy a last-minute shopping spree in Amsterdam's best shopping area, De Negen Straatjes. Enjoy finding the perfect gift or keepsake to remind you of your wonderful trip to the Netherlands. Browse through boutiques to find unique and stylish fashion pieces to take home.

Before you conclude your road trip in the Netherlands, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Amsterdam.

You’ll then say farewell to Amsterdam. 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 the Netherlands!
