Information and contactsThe centre is well suited to a day on foot; check restricted traffic zones, parking and any limitations. Map points identify areas: ask about parking and actual access to venues. Distances exclude the return journey, accommodation and detours.
Confirm tickets and entry slots directly with the operators. Lunch, accommodation, parking and any guides are charged separately; none is included.
In summer, avoid the hottest hours; in months with little daylight, start walks earlier. In rain, prioritise cultural venues that are open and shorten outdoor stops. Bring water and comfortable shoes.
