If your dates are flexible, compare July with September, June, or May for a less crowded visit.

Practical trip tips

Dress in layers you can take on and off easily, because the city will usually feel different in the morning and after sunset.
Keep one museum or covered landmark in reserve each day so a sudden weather shift does not ruin the plan.
Start with the most popular sight first, then let the rest of the route get more relaxed as the day opens up.
