Why the stops are in this order
Most itineraries you find online are a list of places worth seeing, left in whatever order the writer thought of them. That is the part that falls apart on the day: you arrive somewhere at 17:40 and it closed at 17:00, or you cross the city twice because two neighbouring sights sat on different days.
This plan is sequenced instead of listed. Every stop below is checked against the opening hours of the place itself, and the gaps between them are real door-to-door travel times, not straight-line distance on a map. The visiting windows shown are what is actually achievable in a day.
Across all 3 days this route spends 248 minutes in transit — that number is the point. Reordering the same 14 places carelessly can easily double it, and that time comes straight out of your trip.

Make it your trip
The schedule above is built for a generic 3-day visit. Open it in the planner to set your own dates — the timings recalculate against the opening hours for those specific days, which matters more than it sounds when a museum closes on Mondays. You can drag stops between days, swap anything you are not interested in, and the rest of the day re-sequences around the change.
