What to expect
This is a street-level tour focused on facades, piazzas, and exterior views rather than interior museum visits. Expect plenty of walking on mixed surfaces through compact medieval lanes and up gentle inclines to viewing platforms. Your guide will point out architectural details, explain the city's defensive layout, and share stories about how locals live here today. You'll pause at key vantage points for photos and breath. The pace suits all fitness levels, though comfortable shoes are essential.
