I think the vendors around the plaza have some sweet little trinkets. Just make sure to haggle a bit to get the best price. It’s part of the experience!

If you want to save some cash, look for free events or concerts. I stumbled upon a live band while I was there. It was a nice surprise!

If you can, visit right after 9 AM. It's much quieter then, and you can take perfect photos without the crowds in the way. I wish I had done that!

I recommend wearing comfy shoes; you’ll be doing a lot of walking. I didn’t think much of it and ended up regretting my shoe choice halfway through!

Look out for the interactive displays; some of them are super engaging. I wish I had paid more attention to those because they made learning about history way more fun!

I recommend buying the combo ticket for Horno 3 and the neighboring museum. It saves you some bucks and you get to see more amazing stuff!

Bring a camera, but check the photography rules before your visit. I got some great shots, but some areas don’t allow it.

I suggest visiting on a Wednesday; they had free admission that day, and it was less crowded to enjoy the art at my own pace.

I recommend visiting the cathedral on a weekday, especially around 10 AM. It's way less crowded than weekends, and you can really soak in the beautiful architecture without rushing.

If you plan on taking photos, my advice is to walk around the outside first. The best angles are from certain spots, plus you can avoid the crowds inside while you're at it.

Bring a small water bottle! There aren't many places to grab a drink nearby and you don't want to waste time searching when you could be exploring more

Make sure to check out the small shops nearby. They sell local crafts and souvenirs at good prices; I found some really unique stuff that won't break the bank.

I suggest bringing your own snacks or lunch. The cafe prices are kinda high for what you get, and there's great picnic spots inside the museum area.

I think it's smart to buy your tickets online if you can. I had to wait in a long line, and it wasted some of my time enjoying the museum!

My advice is to check if they have any special exhibitions before your visit. Sometimes you can catch something really unique that isn’t part of the regular setup.

To save some cash, try grabbing lunch at the local markets instead of restaurants. The street food is tasty and super affordable!
