LONG DAYS
Summer dates
Enjoy the extra daylight without giving yourself a packed schedule.
Make the most of it.
An evening walk, a small food tour or an afternoon by the water can be enough. Consider the heat, crowds and return journey before setting off.
- When it's hot, plan physical activities for early or later in the day.
- Bring water and, if needed, something for shade or sun protection.
- Check that your evening destination is still accessible after sunset.
