\nFewer Tourists during the Fall<\/strong>

Because the peak of tourist season has wrapped up, many museums and other popular locations shorten their hours. Many closer earlier in the day and others are now open only on the weekends. Plan ahead carefully to take advantage of the museums within this schedule.
