One holiday that stands out in my memory is the day trip I took across my own city with a close friend. During a government initiative that opened up our cultural heritage to everyone, the most appealing aspect was that public transportation was provided free of charge, shuttling visitors from one museum to another. This simple convenience enabled us to explore more than four museums in a single day, something I would never have imagined doing otherwise. We set off early in the morning and made our way through various exhibitions, snapping photos and pausing for coffee and conversation between stops.
