Change your place and get the fresh air

The first afternoon sets the trip. Drop the bag, change shoes, and walk without a list. You learn the slope of the streets, where the shade is, and how late shops stay open.

People who start with a museum often feel behind by dinner. People who start with a park or a waterfront remember the light. Save tickets for day two when you know how far the tram actually is.

Fresh air is not a slogan. It is how you reset after a flight. Give yourself two hours with no photos to post. The itinerary will still be there tomorrow.
