What to discover
How to approach the journey
Start with the places that draw you most, then leave room for discovery. A flexible itinerary of around 10 days offers a useful starting point, depending on your travel style, interests and local conditions.
Plan key transport and accommodation in advance where necessary, while making time for neighbourhoods, landscapes and cultural experiences beyond the headline sights. Check entry requirements, local regulations, weather and up-to-date travel advisories before booking.
