How this guide is prepared
Terra Routes makes editorial selections and planning suggestions. Visit order, duration and effort are estimates, not a personal inspection of every place. Check current opening hours, prices, services and access conditions with the venue or operator before your visit.
Before you plan
Make room for this
Allow 5–7 hours including lunch and walking. The tower is optional; book its slot before fixing the day.
Your stops, in order
Allow extra time for queues, meals and the return journey. Each stop links to its own guide.
