What to expect

This tour focuses on a distinct area known for its unusual and decorative architectural style. Unlike the standard historical center, this district offers a glimpse into a different era of urban design. The electric cart is ideal for navigating these residential streets, which are often tucked away from the main tourist paths.

Expect to see intricate carvings, unusual building shapes, and ornate details that characterize the local architecture. The guide usually provides context on the history of the district and the vision behind its construction. It is a quieter experience, suitable for those interested in art history and urban exploration.

Most visitors find the atmosphere here quite different from the rest of the city, with a slower pace and a sense of discovery. The cart allows you to cover more ground than you might on foot, ensuring you see the most interesting facades in the area.
