A balanced three-day outline
Day 1 · Orientation
Settle into the most convenient base, take a low-pressure neighborhood walk and choose one signature local meal.
Day 2 · Signature experience
Dedicate the main part of the day to the destination’s strongest landmark, landscape or cultural experience. Leave margin for transit and spontaneous stops.
Day 3 · Go deeper
Explore a secondary neighborhood, local trail, market or nearby excursion rather than repeating the busiest visitor circuit.
