Where do locals actually cluster at the First Randoli start, versus the tourist crush at the obvious gallery corners. Not free side-street morning watching and not a locals-versus-tourist morning debate.

Locals often take quieter side approaches a short walk from the densest gallery corners. You trade a postcard angle for room to stand and an easier exit in the first half-hour.

If a local family already claimed a curb, ask before squeezing — they usually make space if you are polite.

Arrive with a plan B curb so you are not stuck arguing for the front row at 6.
