💡 Good to know
- Expect short days, rain, wind and occasional frost; check live rail disruptions and opening calendars, and keep outdoor circuits flexible — the core city journey remains available without promising Christmas markets or snow.
- Spring suits the walking-heavy city circuits, but check rain, wind and live museum calendars — tulips, blossom and clear skies are never guaranteed on a fixed date.
- Long days help the outdoor circuits; expect busy centres, heat or showers, reserve timed attractions early and check engineering works before each rail day.
- Early autumn is comfortable for walking, while later weeks bring shorter days, wind and rain; check live conditions and closures rather than promising foliage or quiet streets.
