Important Information

Many attractions have last entry windows earlier than closing time, so always verify final admission cutoffs when planning your afternoon route.

Early starts and late-afternoon museum slots often provide a better balance of atmosphere and crowd levels, especially in spring and summer.

Advance booking is strongly recommended for high-demand venues, weekends, and holiday periods when timed slots fill quickly.

General museum passes or separate transport tickets are not automatically equivalent to City Card inclusions. Check exactly what your card covers at each stop.
