Day 15 of your road trip in Germany is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Munich 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, we recommend visiting Odeonsplatz, a respected public square before you head out.

Take some time to indulge in shopping at Munich’s popular marketplace, Maximilianstraße. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip. If you’re in the mood for luxury shopping, high-end stores await you.
