Try to arrive around 9 AM when the doors open. The lines can get pretty long as the day goes on, and you’ll want to make the most of your visit without the crowd.

If you're planning to take photos keep your camera handy during the tour. Some of the coolest views pop up unexpectedly and I missed a couple because I didn't have mine out

I suggest wearing good shoes! The cave can get slippery in some spots, and I almost slipped a few times. Comfort is key here!

Consider bringing a light jacket. The cave can be pretty chilly even if it’s hot outside. I wasn’t prepared and kinda regretted it!

If you're on a budget, check for combo tickets with nearby attractions. I saved some cash that way, and it’s a smart way to see more of the area.

Don't forget to check the cave’s schedule ahead of time. I missed one of the guided tours because I didn’t realize there’s a set timetable and not as many options as I thought.

I recommend checking for discount tickets at local tourism offices. I saved a few euros that way, and it was a nice surprise!

I suggest wearing comfy shoes and bringing a light jacket. It gets chilly in there, even in the summer! I learned that the hard way and ended up a bit cold on my visit.

My advice is to wear a light jacket. It can get a bit chilly in the caves, especially if you're not used to the cooler underground temperatures

I suggest booking your tickets online ahead of time. I skipped the lines and saved a good amount by not having to pay at the door. Totally worth it.
