Read the rebuilding

The UNESCO-listed area speaks to cultural exchange, destruction and reconstruction. A guided walk adds meaning to the stonework and the city around it.

Walk with care

Polished stone can be slippery. Enjoy the river from established viewpoints; bridge diving is dangerous and is not a visitor activity recommended here.

Give the day room to unfold

Allow time on both banks, check any museum access and wear shoes with grip.
