Wear road-running shoes
Cobblestones and paved streets take a toll—choose shoes with good cushioning and a stable outsole.
Hydrate before and after
Carry a small bottle or know the location of public drinking fountains; summer heat builds quickly.
Watch your rhythm on cobbles
Short, uneven sections and occasional steps require quicker cadence and attention to footing.
Protect valuables
Busy tourist areas attract pickpockets—use a zippered pocket or running belt for passports and wallets.
Road running shoes
Cushioning and grip for cobbles and pavement keep you comfortable and reduce injury risk.
Small handheld water bottle or soft flask
Keeps you hydrated without slowing your pace; refill at café or public fountain after the run.
