| Crowds: busy from midday, peaking 1-4pm in central areas. | Crowds: quieter until early afternoon, building from 11am and easing by 3pm. |
| Nightlife: bustling city centre, longer venue hours. | Pace: relaxed cafes, jazz brunches, afternoon sessions. |
Bottom line: Saturday wins for big-ticket events. Sunday is better for a slower, more local feel - markets, galleries, and long lunches.
