Practical trip tips
Plan the heaviest walking for the morning or late afternoon and keep the middle of the day lighter.
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.
