- Get an 'Explorer Ticket' to ride the island's remarkable vintage transport network, including Victorian steam trains, electric tramways, and horse-drawn trams in Douglas.
- While the island boasts exceptionally low crime rates, weather can shift rapidly over mountain roads, so always pack waterproof layers even on sunny days.
