Why it matters
Start with iced coffee and a canal-side walk before the city wakes fully. Afternoons hide in air-conditioned cafes or museum courtyards. Nights belong to markets, live music, and one more bowl of noodles.
Slow travel approach
Mornings are usually the calmest window — fewer tour groups, softer light, and time to notice details you would miss on a rushed schedule.
Practical tips
- Check opening hours the night before
- Bring water and sun protection
- Leave room in the day for one unplanned stop nearby
