Afternoon or early evening is best—cooler temps and the square becomes livelier as night falls; bring a water bottle.
Communicate dietary needs early
Vegetarian options are available if requested ahead of time—notify the operator when booking.
Wear comfortable shoes
Expect uneven stone alleys and short walking stretches; closed-toe shoes help when crowds thicken.
