Museums & galleries
Most major-city museums need timed-entry booking, free-entry windows worth knowing about, and a quick decision between the famous-collection visit and the one tourists usually skip. The Prado vs Reina Sofía, the Mauritshuis vs the Rijksmuseum, the Royal Air Force Museum vs the British Museum. The hub aggregates guides where the museum decision is its own planning step.
