  • Check the specific opening hours for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year's Day as they differ from regular hours.
  • If visiting on a Saturday, be aware that the weekly market will be relocated.
  • Dress warmly in layers, as you'll be spending time outdoors, and ice skating can be chilly.
