Seasonal tips: Spring: milder weather is ideal for walking tours and landmark-heavy days before peak-season crowds. Summer: longer days make it easier to stack outdoor sightseeing with one or two headline experiences. Autumn: shoulder-season demand usually means shorter lines and better value across top-rated picks. Winter: museums and indoor attractions become the easiest anchor for shorter daylight itineraries.

Insider tips: - Morning tours are usually the easiest way to beat queues and leave room for a show or dinner later. - Use €38.33 as the city benchmark; anything comfortably below that is usually strong value for a first trip.
