Two days is exactly enough time to fall for a city. This page lays the weekend out like a route: begin at stop one and follow the numbers, or treat the list as a menu and pick your own way through. The map below is drawn in the page itself, so it loads instantly and never goes missing.
No photograph needed — the map is an inline SVG, so it stays crisp at any size and adds no image files.
Day one — the long loop
-
Corner Bakery
Start where the city smells like butter. Order whatever is still warm from the oven and eat it standing up, watching the shutters go up around you.
-
Sunday Market
Two lanes of stalls under striped awnings: fruit, flowers, and a man who sharpens knives on a wheel. Buy one thing you cannot pronounce.
-
Riverside Green
Follow the water east until the traffic thins out. There is a bench near the far bridge that is almost always free.
-
Old Town Steps
A steep climb for the best view in the city. Stop halfway for a rest. Nobody up there is counting your steps.
-
Lantern Alley
Small tables, low light, and a menu in one language only. Point at something, order the house wine, and stay a while.
Day two — the slow half
-
Canal Boathouse
Rent a boat if the day is kind, or sit on the bank and watch braver people row in slow circles.
-
Museum of Small Things
Buttons, keys, matchboxes and one perfect toy theatre. Quiet, cool, and the best two hours of the weekend.
-
Sunset Rooftop
End on a high floor with one last drink while the map below switches its lights on, one window at a time.
