Taste and atmosphere

Every page leaves room for food, pauses, and the texture between landmark photos.

Fast city, calm pacing

Suggested plans are timed for real movement, not fantasy teleportation between districts.

Rain or shine

Filter the spots list by indoor or outdoor, so a wet day never turns into a wasted one.
