Our early plan looked efficient on a map but ignored security queues, station corridors and the time needed to find the correct entrance. We fixed it by scheduling one major reserved attraction each day, grouping flexible stops nearby and keeping the evening open. We also checked closure days again shortly before each visit. The result felt less rushed and gave us enough time to enjoy ordinary streets and cafés between headline sights.
