Scenario Planner

• Short layover: pick morning for detail or night for drama.
• Heat-sensitive: aim for early or evening; skip midday climbs.
• Crowd-averse: weekday mornings win; nights quiet outside.

Photographers vs Families

• Photographers: morning for reliefs; sunset for warmth; night for graphic lines.
• Families: late morning or mid-afternoon balances energy and light; keep routes short.

Hybrid Day Plan

1. Morning quick look for facade details.
2. Afternoon interiors (chapel, hall, museum) when heat peaks.
3. Sunset/blue hour exterior loop for color and silhouettes.

Weather and Season Variables

• Overcast: even light, great for reliefs; skip harsh contrast.
• Winter: shorter days; plan 1–2 hours after opening.
• Summer: breeze improves late; drink water and pace.

Safety and Comfort

• Bring a layer for breezy terraces.
• Watch footing at night; use lit paths and mind curbs.
