How the Day Works and What to Wear

The tour usually gets going in the morning, around 08:00, and wraps up in the late afternoon or early evening depending on that day's pace and the traffic. Plan for roughly 8 to 10 hours out and about. There's a fair amount of walking, and some sites have stairs, so bear that in mind if you have mobility concerns.

Dress comfortably for a day outdoors and wear shoes you can walk in. Bring layers, since temperatures shift through the day, and pack sun protection in summer. When visiting the churches and other religious sites, more modest clothing is expected.
