On your last day in the Netherlands, take time to indulge in shopping at Amsterdam’s popular marketplace, De Negen Straatjes. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip. Browse boutiques to find unique and stylish fashion pieces.
Before you conclude your road trip in the Netherlands, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Amsterdam.
Enjoy a lovely meal at Kanteen25, a top-rated place to have dinner tonight. Alternatively, if your taste buds call for something different, de Silveren Spiegel is another top choice with a popular menu.
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!
