Planning your two days

Without knowing which specific sights you want to see, the general approach that works for most weekend trips: pick one major sight per morning and one per afternoon rather than packing in more, leave real time for food and just walking around, and book timed-entry tickets in advance for anything popular so you're not queueing on a short trip. Staying centrally — close to your must-see list — saves more time on a 2-day trip than a cheaper hotel further out.

FAQs — Weekend in La Paz
