Our #1 travel tip

Before Day 1: Book a FREE walking tour

Free walking tours. Yes, actually free. No credit card needed. No catch.

A local guide takes you around for 2-3 hours covering all the main sights and hidden gems. It's 100% tip-based. Guides only earn what you give them at the end, so they bring their absolute best every time. Passionate storytelling, insider tips, restaurant recommendations you won't find online.

Do this on your first day. You'll get your bearings, learn the history, and get personal recommendations from a local for the rest of your stay.
