  • For each day decide what to do in the afternoons and in the evenings (entertainment of any kind: theatre, cinema, etc.

 GROUP 5:

We won't have enough time to visit more than a museum, so, when you choose, think about what might interest your classmates but take into account the cost of the tickets as well. Some national museums are free. Before making a choice, write down what the main attractions of each museum are, and say why you are interested / not interested in visiting it. Don't forget to have a look at where each museum is located (if it is easy / not easy to reach from the city centre).
GROUP 6:
