Local Insights & Hidden Highlights

Why Booking with a Luxury Travel Advisor Matters benefits from thoughtful pacing and a neighborhood-first plan that balances headline sights with everyday moments.

Best Time to Visit

Shoulder seasons typically balance weather, prices, and crowds. Use mornings and late afternoons for calmer experiences.

Getting There & Getting Around

Stack travel: arrival plan, last-mile to lodging, and local movement. Save offline directions and a backup route.

Where to Stay: Areas & Vibe

Budget & Booking Tips

Think in ranges and pre-choose one or two meaningful splurges; let the rest flex around them.

Sample 3-Day Skeleton

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Over-scheduling, skipping buffers, and ignoring transit details. Cluster stops by area to avoid zig-zagging.
