Travel Tips
Many museums, parks and family events run special programs and get very crowded. Government offices and some banks are closed. Buy attraction or transport tickets early, use contactless EasyCard, and plan visits for morning or late afternoon to avoid peak crowds.
Carry water, sunscreen and a copy of your passport. Join public events to meet locals but watch belongings in busy places. Check venue hours online because some shops change schedules. Take relaxed walks in quieter neighborhoods to enjoy the day safely and meaningfully.
