Length and season

Recorded destination guidance: 8 days minimum sensible; 12–21 days ideal. Budget examples are not a recommendation to compress the full itinerary into seven days.

Typically strongest from November through April.

Destination and arrival

Linked arrival guidance applies only to its named airport and scope. Check current service and your onward journey to the accommodation address.
