Safety Tips

Overtourism is a real issue - cruise passengers should arrive early or late afternoon; City Walls are extremely hot at midday in summer; wear comfortable shoes on cobblestones; keep valuables secure in crowded Old Town


Local Tips

Book City Walls tickets in advance online - they sell out! Take the cable car at sunset for the best views over the Old Town. Sea kayaking around the city walls is a magical experience and less crowded than the walls themselves.
