When to go

Best times to visit

Spring and autumn generally offer the most comfortable temperatures. Summer is very hot in Western cities. Winter is cold, but may be suitable for a more urban, quieter journey.

Before you go

Good to know

Several large cities are linked by train, with road transfers supplementing the route. Historic centers are mainly explored on foot. Make sure to pack clothing suited to temperature changes and modest outfits for religious sites.
