Draft — needs Andrew's review: this page has a structural first pass but needs local knowledge/verification before it's final.

Most first trips land comfortably at four to five days: enough for the major sights plus one day trip, without feeling rushed. Three works if you’re tight on time; seven or more lets you slow down and add a second day trip.
