- The Friday 1:00 pm-only slot is inflexible and might clash with other sightseeing plans
Cons
–
Renaissance/Baroque focus is great for art fans, but less enticing if your crew prefers modern or interactive exhibits
–
Zugló/City Park area is famous locally, but the neighborhood name may be less known to foreign visitors, adding minor planning friction
–
Tickets can sell out due to the 15-person cap, so last-minute walk-ups aren’t guaranteed
