Heritage & Culture Trip itineraries
Forts, palaces and old quarters with monument timings respected.
Heritage sites reward going early. This plan puts the biggest monument at opening time before crowds and heat, groups the old quarter into one walk, and leaves museums for the afternoon when being indoors helps. Closed days — most museums shut one day a week — are checked against your dates.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best time of day to visit monuments?
At opening, typically sunrise to 8 am — crowds are thin, light is good for photographs and the heat has not built. Museums are better in the afternoon, and most are closed one day a week, which the planner accounts for.
