Hi there – on Jan 30th, we have a layover of almost 11 hours (arrival: 30.12. – 14:45, departure: 31:12 – 01:45). I assume this would be enough time for the tour? How is it with opening times, however? Would it still make sense? What would you recommend?
Thanks for providing me with the required information!
Thanks & Best
Jannis
