Overview

Plan by regions and transport corridors, not by a highlights list.

Entry Basics

Verify passport validity, visa rules, and transit requirements (official sources).

Regional Pairing Strategy

Limit to 1–2 major regions per week. Choose regions connected by high‑frequency transport.

Transport Logic

Use dominant corridors (rail lines, major highways, short flight hops). Avoid zig‑zag routes.

Budget Model

Accommodation + transport are primary drivers. Add 15% buffer for peak periods.

Common Mistakes

Over‑stacking cities, underestimating transfer fatigue, ignoring reservation realities.
