Practical trip tips
Plan the heaviest walking for the morning or late afternoon and keep the middle of the day lighter.
Comfortable shoes will matter more than extra gear, because most visitors will spend the best parts of the day on foot.
Start with the most popular sight first, then let the rest of the route get more relaxed as the day opens up.
