Choose priorities, not a checklist
Identify the experiences that matter most and place them loosely on a map. Group nearby sights, make time for meals and rest, and leave open space for weather or an unexpected discovery.
Separate fixed commitments from optional ideas. If one museum or transport connection is essential, check its official information and keep nearby alternatives in mind.
Prepare a plan B
Consider an indoor option for rain, a shorter walk for tired legs and another route if a road closes. Download essential information for areas with poor reception.
Before departure, recheck transport, access and opening hours with the relevant operators. A flexible itinerary is not an empty plan: it is a plan with room to respond.
