Book tickets 2-3 months ahead for high-demand sites like the Acropolis or Sagrada Familia to skip lines.

Download offline maps and audio guides for self-paced exploration; prioritize dawn openings to beat tour groups. Pace yourself with 2-3 sites per day max, rotating rest days in base cities. Respect site rules—no touching artifacts, follow photography bans in sacred spaces.
