More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the coach into a street that feels staged for royalty: timbered gates, tiled roofs, and flagstones that have hosted palace processions on camera more than once. The air carries the low murmur of other visitors and, if you’re lucky, the hush of a live shoot somewhere behind a screened courtyard.
