Useful tips
- It can be hot and crowded at midday, so visiting in the morning or late afternoon is more comfortable.
- Inside the Ancient Town, walking is the default; nearby out-of-town spots are more stable to handle separately by car tour.
- When planning a route, the line between free strolling and paid historic-site entry can get confusing. Official notices separate entrance tickets from the heritage sites you can visit, so reading them first makes the route less confusing.
