    Allow about 120 minutes for a normal visit, with extra time for photographs, queues, worship, interpretation or rest.

    Dress respectfully at active religious and memorial sites and avoid disrupting worship, funerals or commemorations.

  4. 4

    Combine this stop with nearby places in the same region to reduce backtracking and parking searches.
