Day 14 of your road trip in the Netherlands is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Eindhoven before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
Make the most of your final day in the Netherlands by visiting Eindhoven’s iconic markets and shopping establishments in the buzzing Piazza Center. Secure the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends back home or buy yourself a remembrance of your amazing experience in the Netherlands.
Start your adventure at Flying Pins. This often recommended art installation is a place that is appreciated by travelers and locals alike.
Before you conclude your road trip in the Netherlands, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Eindhoven.
If you're in the mood to try something new, consider Park Plaza Eindhoven, another top spot with a mouthwatering menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Eindhoven. 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!
