Headline gigs & big events: most major concerts and festivals land on Saturday night. Markets & culture: brunch spots, markets and galleries are usually a Sunday move.
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.
