What to expect
Expect a steady pace through cobbled lanes and uphill sections within the walled town. Your guide will narrate the significance of each stop—strategic fortifications, royal residences, religious buildings—and point out compositional angles for photographs. The tour doesn't rush; you'll have time to absorb the scale and craftsmanship of buildings that anchored medieval power. Bring water and comfortable shoes; surfaces are uneven and worn by centuries of footfall.
Good to know
Prams and strollers are manageable on most routes, though some steep passages exist. Service animals welcome. Not suitable if you have spinal mobility concerns. Buses serve the area if you need transport before or after. The guide works on tips.
