The tour begins in Old Town Square, where the fountain throws cold light onto cobblestones and the guide in period costume waits with a flashlight and a grin. Guests step off the plaza and into narrow alleys, ducking into secret rooms and cellar spaces that most visitors never see; the city’s past seems to lean in and listen.
