How many days
We suggest two to three days to combine the main outings with rest. In one day, choose a few visits and organize transfers by area. With two days, split programs into separate periods and check access for your date.
When to go
The itinerary can be adapted to different times of year. Before choosing dates, check the operation of attractions and city events. For nature outings, consider the forecast and allow flexibility to rearrange the day.
Do you need a car?
A car makes it easier to visit places away from the central area. For a concentrated itinerary, compare local transport and hired services. Choose accommodation according to priority outings and arrange the return before setting out, especially for rural areas or beaches.
