Booking accommodation in advance is always recommended, especially during peak travel season. All three cities offer a range of accommodations from bed and breakfasts, self-serviced cottages, to hotels. Online travel agencies or direct hotel websites can be used for booking.

Clothing and Essentials:
Pack layers as the weather can be unpredictable. Rainproof jacket and sturdy walking shoes are essential as there are plenty of walking trails in these areas. Don’t forget sunblock, hats, and sunglasses.

Health and Safety:
Ensure your travel insurance is up-to-date. The areas are generally safe but always keep your belongings secure and follow local advisories especially about weather conditions when going for hiking. Carry any personal medication required.
