One last view
Finish at the Round Tower or beside the lakes, adapting the choice to weather, queues and current opening.
Open guide →Before you commit
Keep the route adaptable.
- Reserve the one dinner that matters most, especially at weekends.
- Use the harbour bus as public transport, but check its current route and ticket validity.
- Cycling is optional: walk or use the metro unless both travellers are comfortable in busy cycle traffic.
