Budget Pass

Coffee, metro, museum

The day starts with a cheap espresso, a metro ride, and one high-value attraction. That pattern repeats, and it works.

Spend where it matters

Use the pass for expensive entries and save money on meals by choosing neighborhood bakeries and market counters.

Pace over pressure

Trying to "use everything" can ruin the trip. Choosing well is better than choosing more.
