Trip preparation
Where to start: area, season, and key decisions before your flight
Everything you need to sort out before booking flights: where to stay, when to go, and what to book ahead.
Start with the area that keeps your first must-see sights closest together.
Use indoor and outdoor picks to avoid a rigid one-weather-only plan.
Prioritize the high-demand sights first and leave flexible stops open.
Getting around
How to get around without overcomplicating logistics
From the airport and metro to your first day in the city — practical transport guidance without the confusion.
Build short clusters instead of crossing the whole city several times a day.
Use the calmer early hours for the most queue-prone stops.
Have one flexible indoor option in case weather or queues shift the plan.
Ready-made itineraries
Trip plans for when you don't want to build everything from scratch
Multi-day plans and starter scenarios for your first trip.
Start with the headline places that define the city on a short trip.
Keep the rhythm calmer and prioritize low-friction stops.
Mix free landmarks with one paid anchor instead of stacking premium tickets.
Tickets & comparison
What to book and compare before paying
Pass comparisons, tickets, and final materials before booking slots and entry tickets.
Pick one anchor ticket first and leave the rest flexible.
Compare the expensive stops only after the day structure is already clear.
Curated must-see spots, museums, and observation decks across the city.
