Don't forget to grab a snack from local vendors outside. I found some yummy street food that made my visit even more enjoyable.

If you can, try to go around 10 AM when the crowds are smaller. I went later and it was packed, which affected my photos a lot.

If you can, try to visit around 8 am. The square is so calm and peaceful then with beautiful morning light – great for photos without the crowds!

My advice is to wear comfy shoes, especially if you plan to stroll around. The cobblestones are charming but can be tough on your feet after a while.

Check the weather before you go! It gets sunny, and you definitely want to bring a hat or sunscreen to avoid getting burnt. I forgot mine and ended up finding shade a lot!

Take some time to explore the surrounding gardens and pathways; they're just as beautiful as the promenade itself! I found some hidden spots perfect for photos.

I suggest visiting the Cathedral in the late afternoon, around 5 PM. The lighting is just perfect for photos and it’s less crowded, so you can take your time and really soak in the details.

Check out the little shops nearby for some local treats once you’re done inside... I found some awesome souvenirs! Prices are way better than in the main tourist areas

When I went, I didn’t realize that entry is free, which is amazing. My advice is to take a moment to appreciate the stunning interior without feeling rushed.

Be sure to look up at the ceiling! I almost missed it while admiring the walls. The architecture is really breathtaking and deserves a good look. I think it’s one of the highlights of the cathedral.
