2. Activities: Consider the activities you want to do, such as visiting historical sites, exploring modern shopping districts, enjoying nature, trying local cuisine, and experiencing cultural festivals.
3. Pace: Are you looking for a relaxed trip with plenty of time to explore each destination, or do you prefer a more fast-paced itinerary with a brief overview of multiple places?
