Buy palace tickets in advance
Admission is not included with the transfer; pre-book timed-entry tickets to avoid queues and make full use of your four-hour stop.
Wear sturdy shoes
Paths in the park include gravel, wet grass and steps — comfortable, grippy shoes make walking between viewpoints easier.
Plan for variable weather
Mountain weather changes quickly — carry a lightweight waterproof and an insulating layer even on warm days.
Bring small change or card
Cafés and gift shops accept cards but lines move faster if you have small euros for quick purchases.
Comfortable walking shoes
Good traction for gravel paths, lawn, and short stair sections around the park.
Light waterproof jacket
Spring showers are common in the foothills — stay dry during outdoor time.
