Good to know
- London: Use contactless cards on the Tube; daily fares are capped automatically.
- Paris: Book the Eiffel Tower summit and the Louvre with timed tickets.
- Lucerne: Titlis has year-round snow; carry warm layers even in summer.
- Interlaken & Jungfrau: Check the Jungfraujoch webcam before going; cloudy days hide the views.
- Venice: Day visitors may need to pay an access fee on peak days; staying overnight avoids it.
- Florence & Tuscany: Book the Duomo climb and the Accademia online in advance.
- Rome: Toss a coin in the Trevi early in the morning before crowds arrive.
