How to Plan Your Café Visit

• Check opening times: You will find current times on the venues' websites or online profiles. They change occasionally, especially on public holidays.
• Choose quieter times: Cafés are usually more relaxed in the morning and on weekdays than on weekend afternoons.
• Larger groups: Ask beforehand whether a table is free.
• For working: If you want to work in a café, check beforehand whether Wi-Fi and power sockets are available and whether staying put for longer is welcome.
• With children: Ask about high chairs and space for the pushchair.

💡 Tip: Combine your café visit with a walk through the city. A break with coffee and cake goes well with that.
