Take flights during the times when the matches are on. All the soccer games start at 13h30.

Parking at the airport will be virtually impossible and it is advisable to get someone to drop / collect you from the airports.

Transport companies will be busy with tourists and will be very expensive.

Handy items to keep in the boot of your rental car:

A Torch with rechargeable batteries.

Bottled water even in winter, the sun can be hot, when stuck in a traffic jam

An Empty (5liter bottle) for extra fuel
