Festivals, film events, and street performances often spill into public squares and waterfront spaces.

Where to unwind
When you want a break from the city, head to beachfront parks, coastal walks, or hillside viewpoints for fresh sea air and open views. Early morning and late afternoon are pleasant times to enjoy quieter paths and softer light. Many visitors also appreciate the calm atmosphere of local spas and bathhouses.
