IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We recommend wearing comfortable, sturdy shoes. The Old Town (Architectural Reserve) is famous for its authentic, centuries-old cobblestone streets. These aren't just 'bumpy'—the stones are large, uneven, and can be quite slippery, even when dry. Leave the heels and thin flip-flops at home; your feet and knees will thank you after a day of climbing the city’s hills.
