How to plan
Distances can be much larger than they appear on a map. Compare flights, rail, buses and rental-car logistics, and allow extra time for airport transfers, park roads and border procedures.
Frequently asked questions
Is public transport enough?
It works well in many major cities. National parks and rural areas often need a car, organised transfer or carefully timed shuttle.
How far ahead should I book?
Book accommodation and transport early for popular parks, festivals and peak summer periods; always confirm current rules and availability.
