Traveler advice
Getting around
Taxis to pick-up drop off.
Everything it’s on a walking distance. This is because its kind of difficult to find place to park specialty around 4-5 PM. So my advice is to get an Uber to the place and walk to different places to discover new things. 🌷
I do also recommend to not walk in dark places when its not crowded.
