City Walls at Sunset
Timing the walls walk for the last entry before closing, so you circle the ramparts as the light turns gold and the sea and roofs glow.
The call
Worth it if you only have one day and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
The single most romantic way to do the walls — cooler than midday, softer light, and the crowds thinning as cruise passengers head back to ship.
Our read - 02
The honest catch is it's the same €40 ticket and a gamble against closing time (you must finish before they lock up); the very last entry can still be busy, and cut it too fine and you're rushed.
