Key takeaways

• Start with the neighborhood or format that matches your main constraint: budget, children, weather, transport, or language.
• Check official opening hours, especially for museums, markets, festivals, religious sites, family restaurants, and seasonal outings.
• Keep some flexibility: a good outing leaves time to walk, chat, and change plans.
• The best habit is to check the short menu, local foot traffic, and service rhythm. For your starting city, a good address doesn't need spectacular décor: it mainly needs to make you want to come back on a regular Tuesday.
• For a first visit, choose two or three stops maximum and save the rest for next time.
