This allows for a more relaxed experience, whether you're strolling through the colourful streets or dining at a waterfront restaurant.Couples often find these shoulder seasons superb for a romantic getaway. The milder weather is excellent for leisurely walks through the historic centre, exploring the Basilica dei Santi Gervasio e Protasio, or taking a scenic cable car ride up to Montallegro.
