Bring over-ear or in-ear headphones
Audio is delivered via SoundCloud; good headphones improve clarity in busy streets and help you hear subtle historical details.
Start early to beat heat and crowds
Begin at Monte Smith or the harbor before mid-morning: cooler light and quieter lanes make interpretation easier to follow.
Plan for separate admissions
Some sites (archaeological zones, museums) may charge entry; check opening hours and ticketing before you arrive at each stop.
Keep a portable battery pack
Using audio and maps drains phones—carry a power bank to avoid losing navigation mid-tour.
Headphones
For clear audio playback and to hear narration in busy urban settings.
Sturdy walking shoes
Cobblestones and narrow lanes demand comfortable, grippy footwear.
Portable battery pack
Keeps your phone powered for the playlist and Google My Maps throughout the day.
Light water-resistant jacket or layers
Evenings or breezy harbor conditions can be cool; layers add comfort without bulk.
