Local advice you’ll use

Instead, think about early mornings or late afternoons in places like Gordon Beach or Alma. Also, Florentin is great for wandering in cooler months when its street art looks sharp and the cafés have a more relaxed pace. And if you find yourself near Levinsky Market, grab some spices or a quick snack from a shop owner,they’ll usually share a tip or two about where to head next, making your visit feel more like a local outing than sightseeing.
