Important Information

The final buses of the day depart in the late afternoon or early evening depending on the season—missing the last departure may mean using public transport or taxis to return.

Early morning and late afternoon usually bring softer light, cooler temperatures, and gentler traffic, making the ride and your photo stops especially pleasant.

Booking in advance is strongly recommended in high season and during public holidays, when buses can fill quickly and flexible spots may be limited.

Local public transport passes and museum cards generally do not include private hop‑on hop‑off buses—always check what your existing pass covers and what still needs a separate ticket.
