    Since the ruins are open 24 hours, you can arrive at 4 pm and still see the main structures before dark. The light will be good for photography, and the site tends to be quieter after the midday rush. If you’d rather avoid any evening crowds, you could stay until sunset and then return the next morning for a more relaxed walk. Does anyone have a preference for which side of the ruins to explore first?
