What To Lock In Early

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.
Comfortable shoes will matter more than extra gear, because most visitors will spend the best parts of the day on foot.
Leave some breathing room in the itinerary, because this is a good month to follow the mood of the city rather than rushing it.
