Plan the visit

Compare a guided vehicle route, cycling where suitable, and time on foot. Agree the exact sites and meeting point, and keep stops manageable in the heat. Ticket categories and conditions should be checked with the Central Cultural Fund for your visit.

  • Check the relevant ticket category and current admission process.
  • Compare the route, guiding and time on foot.
  • Follow site instructions and allow breaks between major stops.
