Time the light
Book for golden hour (early morning or late afternoon) to avoid harsh shadows and get the most flattering colors.

If you plan to extend your outing beyond the walking route, have an AB zone public-transport ticket ready to save time.
Watch for cyclists
Many central streets and lanes are shared—keep to sidewalks and be aware of bike lanes when setting up shots.
Respect memorial sites
Treat monuments like the Holocaust Memorial with quiet reverence—avoid staged poses on solemn structures.
Smartphone or mirrorless camera
Compact cameras or phones give flexibility for quick framing and social-ready images.
Comfortable walking shoes
Paved streets and brief stair sections are easier with supportive footwear.
Portable charger
Shooting lots of photos and using maps drains batteries—bring a power bank.
