An editorial planning guide, not a booking or a confirmed schedule. Check current official requirements and the actual supplier terms before committing.
Give each day a centre of gravity
Choose one district or cluster of interests for the morning and a second for the afternoon. Put a café, meal or indoor option between them, so the plan survives rain or a slower start.
The waterfront, historic streets and museums offer different ways into the city. Decide which matters to you, then look at travel time from your proposed hotel.
Check the visit, not just the attraction
For any museum, performance or major attraction, check the official booking channel, opening day and identification requirements close to your visit. Keep a copy of the booking details that you can read offline.
The municipal visitor guide is a useful place to start checking practical information. This page does not promise current admission rules or specific availability.
Choose a workable hotel location
Compare the walk from the nearest transport stop, luggage access and your arrival time. An attractive district name can cover a much larger area than you expect.
