Your slot should match your visual goal and the season.
Visibility vs Color
- Mid‑morning often yields the crispest views across the city.
- Golden hour paints the marble honey‑gold and softens backgrounds.
Seasonality Quick Guide
| Season | Daylight | Weather Note | Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winter | Short days | Clear cold snaps; ice risk on terraces | Book mid‑morning; keep flexible |
| Spring | Lengthening | Changeable showers | Bring layers; watch radar |
| Summer | Long days | Heat haze and strong sun | Aim early/late; carry water |
| Autumn | Crisp light | Occasional fog at dawn | Pick late morning or sunset |
Bottom Line
Love color? Pick sunset. Want detail? Target a clear mid‑morning, especially outside weekends.
