Timing Matters**:

If taking the train, consider traveling during off-peak hours to avoid crowds and enjoy a more relaxed journey. Early morning or late evening trains often have lower fares.

Luggage Considerations**:

On trains, there are generally no weight limits, but you should be able to manage your luggage. For flights, check the airline's baggage policy to avoid extra fees. A small backpack is advisable for essentials.
