Food scene surprised me, lots of cozy places. Tourist bars mark up beer, walk a block away for better prices. City felt safe even late.
Compact, walkable center with great cheap coffee and bakeries. Weather was rainy but cozy. Two days enough for highlights, three if you want museums.
Skip dining on Pilies Street, head two blocks to side streets for same food at half price. Use card when you can, ATMs charge high fees.
Lovely architecture, but August felt overcrowded and a bit overpriced. Museums are small, expect short visits. Not a five star love but worth a stop.
Free walking tours meet by the Cathedral at 11am, cash-tip system. We got local pub and bakery recs that saved money and avoided crowds, highly useful.
