The Experience
Before You Go
Bring comfortable, supportive shoes
Cobblestones and short flights of stone steps make good footwear essential—avoid thin-soled shoes to reduce foot fatigue.
Check museum opening days
Key museum stops are often closed on Monday; verify hours ahead to avoid missing included or optional interiors.
Carry water and sun protection
Piazzas and waterfront stretches have limited shade—bring a refillable bottle, sunscreen and a hat, especially in summer.
Use provided audio or pair your own headphones
The tour relies on the audio device for commentary—ensure it’s charged or ask about using your phone and headphones for clearer sound.
