THE SHORT ANSWERReserve the Egyptian Museum, walk the arcades, and let aperitivo end a geographically tight day. Choose one fixed morning anchor, keep lunch in the same district, and protect the evening from unnecessary cross-city travel. Royal sites and museums close on different weekdays; reserve the Egyptian Museum and protect an indoor substitute for rain or heat.
