Plan to spend at least 3-4 hours there, especially if you want to enjoy a leisurely lunch or explore every nook and cranny. I rushed and missed out on a lot of the charm.

I recommend booking your tickets online in advance. It’ll save you time at the entrance, and sometimes you can snag some discounts too. I saved a few bucks this way!

If you're a photography junkie like me, try the early morning slot around 9 AM. The lighting is perfect, and there are fewer people around, so you’ll get some amazing shots!

consider taking the walk around the village instead of the bus if you’re feeling up for it. it gives you a closer look at the details that you might miss while zooming by.
