The Experience
Before You Go
Start early to beat heat
Morning departures avoid high summer temperatures and long museum lines; late afternoon also offers cooler light for photos.
Bring a refillable bottle
Bottled water is provided but a reusable bottle helps you stay hydrated and reduces waste on repeat stops.
Watch for cobbles and tram tracks
Slow down on cobbled streets and cross tram tracks at a perpendicular angle to avoid slipping.
Keep valuables secure
Busy plazas are prime photo spots but also pickpocket areas—use a zipped pocket or small lockable bag.
