💡 Quick Tips from the Locals:
- Weather Check: Evenings get brisk quickly! It’s been hitting around 6°C by 7:30 PM, so bring a solid jacket for that walk to dinner.
- Reservations: For the highly popular spots like Café 3692 or Onkel Tom’s, calling ahead or booking online a few days in advance is a smart move.
