We highly recommend buying tickets for museum's and other activities in advance as they will be sold out if you wait until the last minute. We recommend guided tours for museums as they will teach you so much more about the most important pieces than you could ever have known on your own. You will be able to buy last minute tickets the day of just be prepared to wait.
