  • Half price off admission tickets if you have a student ID.
  • Organize your tour via the reception of your hotel. Maps and pieces of advice about how to proceed are available at the reception.
  • Bus stands are often located nearby your hotel, a taxi is a good alternative. 
  • At every "highlight-stop" you can buy necessary tickets if required. 
  • Mind the festivals, national holidays, etc. to avoid too many visitors and very long waiting times at every scenic location.
  • Get yourself a good map and information before you enter the park.
  • Carry little weight. It can tire you out.
