Historic centers

Cobblestone streets, squares, churches and townhouses form a set that is best explored on foot.

The program is walking. Cobbled streets, squares, fountains, churches and two‑story houses form a set best understood on foot, preferably with a local guide on the first day. It's better to know one neighborhood well than to rush through ten points.
