Practical trip tips
Plan the heaviest walking for the morning or late afternoon and keep the middle of the day lighter.
Keep one museum or covered landmark in reserve each day so a sudden weather shift does not ruin the plan.
If you want to stay central, compare options early, because the nicest-value places disappear before the expensive ones do.
