Tips Before You Go:

It's best to visit in the late morning to early afternoon when the sun isn’t too harsh.

Bring an umbrella or sunhat, and a portable fan, especially if you plan to walk outdoors in the afternoon heat.

Carry some cash, as most shops do not accept bank transfers or credit cards.

Weekends are the liveliest more shops are open compared to weekdays, making for a more vibrant experience.
