Plan

Regardless of how you travel, it is wise to plan your journey so that it is as frictionless as possible. To achieve this, the most important thing is to familiarize yourself with the routes.

The Stay

Most people who book a couple of days, wish they had booked three more to be able to calm down and get the most out of their stay.
