Confirm tickets and entry slots directly with the operators. Lunch, accommodation, parking and any guides are charged separately; none is included.
In summer, avoid the hottest hours; in months with little daylight, start walks earlier. In rain, prioritise cultural venues that are open and shorten outdoor stops. Bring water and comfortable shoes.
