Key Takeaways

• Start with the neighborhood or format that matches your main constraint: budget, kids, weather, transport, or language.
• Check official hours, especially for museums, markets, festivals, religious sites, family restaurants, and seasonal outings.
• Allow some margin: a good outing leaves time to walk, chat, and change plans.
• The best reflex is to look at the short map, local crowd, and service pace. For the departure city, a good address doesn't need a spectacular decor: it should mainly make you want to return on a regular Tuesday.
• For a first visit, choose a maximum of two or three stops and note the rest for next time.
