Clothing: Wear breathable fabrics and, most importantly, sturdy cushioned shoes for the cobblestones, which become slippery when wet. Always carry a compact umbrella or a light raincoat. Plan your heaviest walking for the mornings and seek air-conditioned museums or shaded parks between 13:00 and 17:00.
