Travel Tips
The best time to visit is spring or autumn for mild weather and fewer tourists. Pack comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and light clothing for summer visits. Respect local customs by greeting residents politely and dressing modestly when visiting religious sites. Safety is generally good, but standard precautions apply. Cash is commonly used, though credit cards are accepted in some places. It is advisable to carry some euros in cash for small purchases.
