To make the most out of a trip, I usually start by picking a central location as a base. This way, I can easily explore different areas without wasting too much time on transportation. Prioritizing must-see spots and unique experiences over tourist traps also helps in getting a more authentic feel of the place. For efficiency, I like to group activities by area, so I'm not zigzagging across the city. Plus, leaving some buffer time in the schedule is key; it allows for spontaneous adventures or just some much-needed rest. Using local transport apps and buying tickets in advance can save a ton of time, too. And, of course, asking locals for tips often leads to discovering hidden gems that aren't in the guidebooks.
