Go where the day-trippers don't.Away from the headline sights it stays manageable all day. Save the marquee ones.

5pm+

Take the city back.Ships sail by early evening and the squares empty out — the best hour of the day.

The heaviest port day is Thu 3 Jun — 3 ships in at once. See the marquee sights on a lighter day, or be there for opening time.
On the busy days, the walk-up queues for the big sights are the biggest time-sink — a timed-entry ticket skips them, which is where a busy month is won or lost.
