Use each venue’s official page for opening, tickets, luggage and photography rules. Bring sun and rain protection, follow dress requirements at religious sites, and prepare an indoor alternative for heavy rain or thunderstorms.

Before an evening activity, confirm companions, phone charge, transport and emergency contact. A passport original need not go to every attraction; carry sufficient payment methods and a document copy, and follow school or housing return rules.
