The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Streets are cobbled and some paths are uneven—closed-toe shoes improve control and comfort.

Ride defensively through narrow streets and be prepared to dismount where sidewalks and pedestrian zones narrow.
Hydrate between stops
The Mediterranean sun can be sharp even in spring; carry a water bottle in addition to the provided bottled water.
Reserve morning or late afternoon
Temperatures and traffic are friendlier outside midday; light is best for photos early or late.
