What to bring and keep in mind

Parking lots at major sights fill up early in the morning, so leave extra time for parking between stops.

Some stops need a reservation. Tap the reservation tag on the card to check in advance.

Palaces, historic houses and temples stop admitting visitors 30 to 60 minutes before closing, so do not save them for last.

For outdoor walks, wear comfortable shoes and carry a bottle of water. It gets windy after sunset, so bring a layer.
