Day Planning

Trying to fit too much into one day is the real planning problem.

Most visitors underestimate how long things take and end up rushing or cutting the best part short. The strongest city day plan starts by protecting the longest activity first, then building around what is realistically left.

Plan your day in this order
1. What takes the longest
2. What time you want to start
3. Then what you can realistically fit around it
