Culture & useful questions
How do I make visits comfortable and respectful?
Ask before photographing people or entering working spaces. These are living neighbourhoods. Check walking distances, steps, rest stops and access with your guide; religious buildings and private homes have their own visitor rules.
Can I book directly from this guide?
Activity cards open the programme and booking status. The current catalogue is a preview, so saving interest does not reserve a place or take payment. Selected official venue links let you enquire or purchase directly from the venue under its own terms.
Where should I confirm hours, entry fees and menus?
Use the venue’s official visitor or reservation information. Conditions can change, and a listed attraction is not automatically included in a tour or City Pass.
