01

Before you book

Confirm the rules for your passport and your route before making non-refundable commitments.

02

Before you fly

Prepare documents, a working phone and more than one way to pay.

03

Land and settle in

Reach the right address, complete check-in and know who registers the stay.

04

Move between places

Match the ticket to the actual station, and plan the journey on both sides.

05

Make the day work

Book the visit, communicate clearly and leave space for ordinary needs.

06

Return with a buffer

Resolve open bookings and save the details needed for departure or a lost document.

These are planning steps, rather than a determination of your entry eligibility or a live booking service. Follow each guide’s official sources for rules that affect your trip.
