Castle hill views are worth the climb, sunset over the river was unexpectedly lovely. Great spot for photos and a lazy afternoon.
I wanted more nightlife, bars close early and the big clubs are sparse. Good for relaxed nights, not for party seekers.
Buy a 24 hour public transport ticket from a kiosk or the app, cheaper than singles. Trams and buses run often and are easy to use.
Food is solid and cheap by Western Europe standards, but tourist traps near the main square hike prices. Walk a few blocks for better value.
Hot July crowds made the Old Town feel busy, but shady alleys helped. Bring water and expect queues at peak times.
