About
Raske fakta: Wander down sun-warmed, cobbled alleys and you'll hear lively chatter spilling from tiny cafés tucked beneath medieval arcades, the smell of espresso blending with bread from corner bakeries. Locals will tell you there are more than a dozen hidden stairways and rooftop viewpoints that reward patient explorers with surprise panoramas and quiet benches where time slows.
Høydepunkter: At dusk the narrow cobbled lanes fill with the scent of espresso and roasting chestnuts as vendors under the low arcades arrange stacks of faded postcards and brass keys, the warm lamplight making frescoed walls seem to glow. On misty mornings three church bells answer one another in uneven rhythms, and neighbors lift small wooden shutters to hand over steaming cups of cocoa while murmuring century-old stories in the local dialect.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes for uneven cobbles and a light jacket for breezy evenings.
- Best photos come from the lower arcade looking up at the frescoed facades during golden hour.
- Visit weekday mornings to enjoy quieter streets and open artisan workshops.
- Skip peak lunch between 12:30 and 14:00 if you want shops open; try a midday espresso at a cafe instead.
