How to use it

  1. 1Work backwards from your departure time on Sunday.
  2. 2Book Saturday dinner before you leave home — the good places fill up.
  3. 3Keep everything inside one or two neighbourhoods.
  4. 4Note opening hours; a weekend trip loses badly to a Monday-closed museum.

The 20-minute rule

On a weekend, anything more than 20 minutes of transit each way has to earn its place. Cluster your plan geographically and you effectively gain half a day.
