What Works Well
Mild daytime temperatures make it easy to cover the main sights on foot.
The city has a strong mix of outdoor landmarks and indoor museums for wetter days.
Crowds and prices sit at a medium level, so the trip feels manageable without being cheap or empty.
What Needs Planning
About ten rainy days mean you should plan for interruptions to outdoor time.
Evenings turn cool enough to make longer walks less comfortable without layers.
October is not the quietest or cheapest month, so it does not maximize either value or calm.

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.
