About
Quick facts: Cobblestone streets wind through a maze of colorful buildings showing centuries of architectural styles. The lively town square bustles with markets and cozy cafes where locals gather for animated conversations.
Highlights: A charming tradition is the annual movement of a giant bell from the Bernardine Church, where chanting monks once regulated the town's pace. The Old Town's maze-like alleys hide many murals that turn ordinary walls into open-air art galleries.
Insider tips

- Capture photos near the town square at dawn when soft light highlights the pastel buildings.
- Skip the busiest areas during lunch hours to enjoy quieter cafe patios.
