Planning tips
- First decide on the area that will be the center of your day, then combine nearby sights and cultural facilities.
- Put time for meals and shopping in your plan too, so the day is not filled with travel alone.
- If fireworks or an event is your goal, check the year, dates and return transport announced by the organizer.
These are planning tips from our editors. They do not replace checking the latest opening hours, transport and prices yourself.
