Good to know
- Rome: Toss a coin in the Trevi early in the morning before crowds arrive.
- Florence & Tuscany: Book the Duomo climb and the Accademia online in advance.
- Venice: Day visitors may need to pay an access fee on peak days; staying overnight avoids it.
- 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.
