Wear comfortable walking shoesExpect roughly 2.5 hours of walking on cobbles and pavement — supportive footwear makes the route more enjoyable.

Check accessibility details before startingThe route is advertised as wheelchair- and stroller-accessible, but confirm start-point access and any temporary closures in the app.

Time your start to avoid crowdsBegin in the morning or late afternoon for quieter plazas and better photo light; midday brings more foot traffic around major sights.
