Insider tips
- ★Visit early morning (before 9am) to experience the main piazzas with fewer tourists and better light for photography
- ★Wear comfortable walking shoes—medieval streets have uneven stone surfaces and steep hills; the tour involves continuous walking
- ★Ask your guide about neighborhood legends and local artisan workshops; many are tucked away from main tourist routes
- ★The city's contrade (ancient districts) each have distinct character—request focus on one or two if you prefer depth over breadth
