  • Spring (April–June): perfect weather

Summer can be very hot, while winter is quieter but still charming.

🎫 Book Tickets in Advance

To eat well:

  • Avoid places with aggressive staff outside

  • Check reviews

  • Walk a few streets away from main attractions

💶 Carry Some Cash

Although cards are widely accepted, small places may prefer cash.

Always choose licensed taxis or trusted apps.

Avoid unofficial drivers offering rides.
