Some central streets use cobblestone; lower your tire pressure slightly and keep a steady cadence to reduce vibration.

Carry a refillable bottle and a small snack—guides often include a local drink or bite, but you may be moving between stops.

Closed-toe shoes
Gives better control and comfort on pedals over cobbles and mixed surfaces.
