Morning: City-center walk for architecture and street photography. Afternoon: Museum, gallery, or indoor alternative. Evening: Outdoor area or historic street walk depending on light conditions. Note: Current visiting hours and ticket details for indoor places should be reviewed in advance.

Day 3 itinerary draft

Morning: Light walk around a calmer neighborhood or park area. Afternoon: Short shopping, cafe break, or free time before departure. Evening: Flexible closing plan based on flight or return time. Note: Luggage, transfer, and transport details should be reviewed separately on the travel day.

Photo, viewpoint, or short break spots

Historic streets, stone buildings, narrow passages, elevated city views, shopfront streets, and calm cafe areas can be considered for photography. Final spot selection should depend on weather, light, and current access conditions.
