I think you should take your time to chat with the local vendors around the church. They have some cool stories and selling unique crafts that you won’t find in the usual shops. I regret not doing this sooner during my visit

I suggest visiting in the morning around 9 AM when it's less crowded and the natural light inside the church is stunning for photos. Trust me you’ll want those shots without a ton of people in them.

I suggest visiting right when it opens at 8 AM. It gets super crowded later, and you won't have to fight for a good photo spot. Trust me, it's way more chill early on!

I think spending a bit of time just walking around the walls is worth it. The views are amazing and you can find some hidden spots for pictures. Don't just rush through the displays!

My advice is to bring some local currency. A lot of small vendors around sell cool stuff, and they prefer cash over cards. I didn't have enough and missed out on some neat finds.

I suggest bringing some change; the entrance fee is really cheap, but my friends and I had to scramble for coins. A few local snacks from nearby stalls made the visit even better!

I suggest visiting in the morning around 9 AM to avoid the crowds and the heat. It was way more enjoyable exploring when there were less people around. Plus, the light for photos is just better then!

My advice is to bring cash for the local vendors nearby. I tried to pay with card and it didn't work, so I missed out on some cool souvenirs. The prices are reasonable if you haggle a bit!
