You step off the bus into a street of warm, honey‑colored stone; the air holds a faint mineral tang from the hot springs and the cobbles remember centuries of footsteps. A local guide falls into step, voice low but animated, pointing out a façade where Georgian proportions meet carved friezes and the curve of the Royal Crescent peeks through a narrow lane. The walk moves at a human pace—two hours of close observation and small revelations.
