The morning light falls across Conwy’s grey stone walls and the castle’s towers cut a clean silhouette against the estuary. You meet at the Tourist Information Centre, then step into streets that still hold the cadence of medieval boots and market cries. Salt from the harbour pushes inland, and the day’s first aromas—fresh mussels, baking chocolate, polished oak casks—begin to map the town’s story.
