Practical trip tips
Build the day around warm indoor stops, because the city is much more enjoyable when you can reset between walks.
Keep one museum or covered landmark in reserve each day so a sudden weather shift does not ruin the plan.
Leave some breathing room in the itinerary, because this is a good month to follow the mood of the city rather than rushing it.
