You arrive on cobblestones that slope toward a broad rectangular pond; pastel façades lean forward as if to share their stories. The VoiceMap app cues the first narration and the square’s color—peaches, pistachio greens, washed blues—feels deliberately staged, each sgraffito panel a character with a line to deliver.

Use earbuds for clarity
Noise-cancelling or in-ear headphones make narration and ambient details much easier to follow while you walk.
Mind the cobbles
Wear supportive shoes—cobblestones and short steps can be hard on ankles after 90+ minutes of walking.
Start early or late
The square fills with day-trippers mid-day; early morning or late afternoon gives you quieter streets and better light for photos.
Comfortable walking shoes
Stable soles reduce fatigue and help on cobbles and steps.
In-ear or over-ear headphones
Ensures clear playback of narration and directional cues from the app.
Portable battery pack
Keeps your phone charged for GPS playback and map use through the tour.
Light rain jacket or wind layer
Spring showers are common; an easily stowed shell keeps you comfortable without weighing you down.
