Do’s, don’ts, FYI & DIY

DO: ask before taking a portrait

A public street is not permission to turn another person into your content. Let the encounter happen first.

DON’T: assume a courtyard is public

Check signs and entrances. People live and work in the places that make the city interesting.

DIY: one district, three stops

Choose a walk, one cultural visit and one meal. Leave time between them for the city itself.

Q&A: how do I get around?

Use JUDU for current routes and tickets. Check how your ticket must be activated rather than assuming every payment method works the same way.

FYI: museum access

Check the specific museum’s admission policy. A special free day does not automatically cover every museum or temporary exhibition.
