Getting there

Air, rail and road; hotel location should match old-city access versus resort/palace-led escape.

When to go

Cooler months support full outdoor sightseeing; hot periods need early starts and indoor/rest blocks.

Weather, roads and operations are never guaranteed; we check them for your dates.

Where to base yourself.

The area you stay in changes the trip, so we choose it before the hotel.

Things to do
