To make the most out of a trip while keeping things efficient, I usually start by picking must-see spots and experiences that truly define the place. Then, I group nearby attractions together to minimize travel time between them. Using local transportation like buses or bikes can be a game changer, offering both speed and a chance to blend in with the locals. For meals, I often choose places close to my next destination to keep the momentum going. And let's not forget about embracing spontaneity; leaving some wiggle room in the schedule allows for unexpected discoveries, which sometimes turn out to be the highlight of the trip.
