What You Should Wear
When planning your trip, you should consider what you need to pack and what you should wear and the key tip is dress for the season. Even though the summers are generally very hot, if you are going during the winter or spring you may want to adjust your wardrobe a little bit.
Summer – Best to wear shorts, T-shirts, comfortable sandals, and sun glasses.
Fall, Winter, & Spring – Even though they usually have mild weather during other seasons you should still pack a lightweight jacket or sweater for collier evenings and also you may want to wear lightweight pants instead of shorts. You might also want to make sure that you have a poncho, hoodie, or an umbrella because you never know when you might have a surprise rain shower or a storm hit.
Most Important Piece of Wardrobe – Probably the most important thing you need to have to enjoy yourself are a pair of very comfortable shoes. You should include sandals, flat shoes, and sneakers when you pack for your trip because you are going to do a lot more walking than what you normally do.
