Why this plan
- Group: With friends. That sets the pace of the day, the length of breaks and which places make the cut at all.
- Pace: Balanced — 19 attractions in 3 days, with time for meals and your own discoveries.
- Interests: History · food · bazaars. Places are picked for them, not off a “top 10” list.
- Season: Autumn. The order of the day accounts for opening hours and typical weather.
- A full description of every place: how to get there, history, architecture, curiosities, practical information — to read or to listen to on the way.
