- If you want to see the whole island, it's best to allow close to half a day.
- When planning an island itinerary, coordinating ferry times with museum hours can be tricky. The official guidance also notes that operating information may change, so check the HSL timetable and local facility notices before you go.
- The route along the walls and coastal paths can get long, so make a windbreaker, comfortable shoes, and a charged phone part of your basic kit.
