Begin around the plaza

Give the cathedral setting and central streets time on foot. A local guide can connect the city’s history with its present-day neighbourhoods and markets.

Make food part of the day

Choose a market or restaurant visit around local recommendations and your dietary needs. Keep countryside trips separate from the time you want in the city.

Give the day room to unfold

Choose one main outing for each day and leave time for meals and the journey back. Confirm access, transport and any guided arrangements before setting out.
