Main stops

Photos and practical links are from the actual places. Review links are included for a second opinion.

Saturday · main event

Plan for the galleries, Independence Plaza, and one tram. Start at opening and leave before the afternoon rush.

Sunday · one outing

Choose the Aquarium Pyramid first. Add another attraction only if the group still has energy after lunch.

Any day · easy alternative

Use this for a short beach break, not a full-day outing. Early morning and sunset are the comfortable windows.
