Keep walking around neighborhoods and browsing small shops; replace riverside riding with cafes, record stores, or indoor exhibitions; dinner and nightlife as usual, prioritize indoor seats and add a warm layer.

Most design shops and small stores open around 11:00–19:00, mostly closed on Sundays; if Sunday, suggest market, cafes, or relaxing park walks instead.

Keep a safe distance from water, do not block surfing routes; graffiti walls can be photographed but do not paint or touch wet paint; watch out for bicycles and traffic.
