Local Tips

Bring cash as ATMs are limited; plan arrival before dark since mountain roads are winding. Most attractions are walkable, and local guides can enrich your visit.

The town is generally very safe, but exercise caution on rural trails after dark and watch out for slippery cobblestones during rain. Beware of unlicensed taxis or unofficial tour operators.
