Old Town Square
Gothic spires, baroque façades and the astronomical clock on the town hall wall — a working medieval instrument that tracks the sun, the moon and the zodiac. Free and open at any hour.
Public open-air space — accessible at any time, no ticket
⚠ Da sapere nelle vicinanze: The clock’s hourly show is genuinely underwhelming — two small doors open, twelve figures pass, a skeleton rings a bell, and it is over in 45 seconds. Hundreds of people wait twenty minutes for it. See it once if you happen to be there; the clock face itself, which people ignore, is the remarkable part. Separately: restaurants right on the square have a history of undisclosed cover charges, a "bread you didn't order" fee, or a bill that doesn't match the menu — check both before paying. The currency-exchange booth on the square's corner has also been publicly called out for rates far worse than its advertised "0% commission" suggests; use a bank or an ATM instead.
♿ Accessibilità: The terrain here is flat, but historical paving in parts of the square and nearby streets, plus a few un-ramped curbs near the Old Town Hall, can be difficult to roll over.
