Itinerary

Meet at designated meet point (details on hub event). Greeting by guide and set off to explore the historic centre of the city, this includes the main Plaza and municipal buildings and depending on the restoration projects we also visit a local ruin selected by the guide, as the city always is working on restoring these old buildings and monasteries stuck in time and quite difficult to maintain. The whole experience is waling and will take up most of the morning hours. After the experience make sure you ask your local guide for a good recommendation for lunch (not included).
