Less suited to

• people with limited mobility

• drivers
• families
• luxury travelers

Watch out for

• Use extra care after dark on quiet stairways and poorly lit side streets.
• Keep phones and valuables out of sight near transport stops and busy central streets.
• Check the exact walking route before booking, as steep slopes and stairways can make access difficult.
• Ask accommodation hosts about current local conditions and the safest route to the main streets.
