Personal comments
Make sure to do the basics - work out cheapest bus passes, free days at museums etc. If you're staying for more than 2 months and especially if over the summer - buy a second hand bike. It's the best way to see the city. Also, make sure you have lights at nice - or else you'll get fined.
