06 / A LITTLE PREPARATION

Before you go.

Plan the connections

Rail connects many major cities, while rural areas may need road transfers. Allow realistic luggage and station time.

Family & dietary planning

Halal dining options are available in many cities, with greater variation in rural areas. Confirm suitable meals and family room arrangements in advance.

Entry and regional routes

Check the current entry requirements for your passport. A UK visit and a visit to the Republic of Ireland are not the same entry arrangement.

Make it your kind of journey.
