To make the most of your stay, consider booking your hotel during the late spring or early fall when the weather is mild and the tourist crowds are thinner. 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?
