How to use this list

Each entry links to a dedicated single-place guide. Pick the places that fit your interests, check their practical details, and use a separate itinerary when you need a time-ordered route.

Choose two or three nearby places rather than forcing the entire list into one day. This leaves room for travel and queues.
