Insider tips

Wear comfortable shoes, the street is covered with cobblestones and it can be too much.
The best photos can be taken in the evening sun, when the light falls directly on the wood and brickwork.
Avoid the weekend, as the street can become very crowded.
Try traditional mountain milk and sandwiches from small family-run restaurants.
