Additionally, keep an eye out for special packages that many hotels may offer, particularly for longer stays. For navigating the city, public transport is efficient, but having a rental car could give you the freedom to explore the surrounding sites at your leisure. Plan for day trips to nearby natural parks or indulge in local cheese tasting at a quaint café. Ready to turn your travel dream into a reality?
