Driving routes, distances and day-trip ideas nearby.
A ready week, day by day: highly rated places, lunches, tours and trips out of town. Ratings and opening hours come from Tripadvisor, distances are real driving distances.
An unhurried first day: the centre on foot, one landmark and a quiet dinner near where you're staying. Don't plan anything far — after travelling, getting your bearings matters more.
All day
A free day — the market, the waterfront, the next neighbourhood over.
Hotel check-in is usually from 2pm — if you arrive earlier, most places will store your luggage.
The fullest day: two or three key places back to back. Start early — queues build by midday at the popular ones, and the light is better for photographs after lunch.

The price was increased 2x during our stays and all staff was drunk next morning
Chose the place because of good reviews… but this was probably the former owner? Arrived and asked for a price. Reviewed the rooms, ageed to add breakfast to the price and moved in. The reception made a mistake and sorry but the price is actually x+20%! When we returned after dinner the price was now 2x… When we got up…
