Travel Tips

The best time to visit is spring or early autumn to avoid summer heat and crowds. Pack comfortable walking shoes for cobblestone streets and light clothing for warm weather. Respect local customs by dressing modestly when visiting religious sites. Carry some cash as smaller shops and markets may not accept cards. Stay aware of pickpockets in crowded areas and use official taxis or transport services.
