A good question.
A local answer.

Allow a walk from a larger car park rather than circling the waterfront. Check height limits if the vehicle is large.

If you only enter two parks once each, total the day-pass costs before choosing a longer pass. Recheck prices and conditions close to travel.

Confirm the exact vehicle class and luggage space, plus whether a city branch can guarantee your pickup and return times. Read recent branch-specific reviews.

Plan around your friend's free days: save the longer excursion for together, and use working days for easy walks, markets and inexpensive meals.

Shortlist restaurants by atmosphere, current menu and the walk from your accommodation. Tell the restaurant it is a celebration and ask for a quieter table.

Check daylight, road conditions and the attraction's current Monday schedule before setting out. Keep enough time to get back for the match without rushing.

If contemporary art is a priority, allow a leisurely visit and ferry time. If scenery matters more, a separate mountain outing may be more satisfying than rushing both.

The ferry can make the museum visit feel like an outing in its own right. Compare the current departure and return times with how long you want to spend inside.

If weather is poor, book a relaxed meal and save outdoor views for daylight. Confirm how late your tour accommodation reception is staffed.

Pack a warm outer layer, insulating mid-layer, waterproof shell and comfortable closed shoes. The right combination depends on wind, rain and whether you go to higher ground.

Book early for weekends and holidays. If a service cannot provide the checks you need, choose a family-friendly dinner instead.

Base the first days near easy food and short indoor outings, then choose one weather-dependent outdoor stop. A carrier helps on hills but does not remove the need for warm layers and rest breaks.
