This is a day trip: leave early and head back in the evening. Return buses and trains can sell out on weekends, so book your ride back together with your ride out. Station and terminal lockers let you explore without your bags.
Popular sights are busiest on weekend afternoons — start early for a calmer visit and better photos.
Times in this plan are worked out from the distance between stops and how long you stay at each one. Feel free to drop a stop or two for a slower pace. Every stop has location and directions buttons that open the map directly.
