The right route changes with the season.

  • Outdoor anchors need a weather window
  • Transit time feels different in heat or rain
  • Evening plans often save the day

The strongest days usually start with one weather-sensitive anchor, then pivot into nearby indoor or flexible stops if conditions change.

Evening districts, covered markets, cafes, and museums are what keep the day useful when the forecast turns.
