Seasonal tips: Spring: milder weather is ideal for walking tours and landmark-heavy days before peak-season crowds. Summer: longer evenings suit river cruises, open-air sightseeing, and late dinners. Autumn: shoulder-season demand usually means shorter lines and better value across top-rated picks. Winter: indoor favourites like theatre, concerts, and festive programming book out fastest.

Insider tips: - Book headline theatre picks 1 to 2 weeks ahead for the best seat-and-price mix. - Morning tours are usually the easiest way to beat queues and leave room for a show or dinner later. - Use €29.50 as the city benchmark; anything comfortably below that is usually strong value for a first trip.
