The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
