- Check official hours, especially for museums, markets, festivals, religious sites, family restaurants, and seasonal outings.
- Keep some buffer: a good outing leaves time for walking, chatting, and changing plans.
- Seasonal events are better enjoyed with a precise time slot and a backup plan. Off-peak hours, reservations, and transportation often make all the difference.
- For a first visit, choose a maximum of two or three steps and save the rest for next time.
