Hey there,
it’s been a long time since I have started lurking the subreddit and it’s now my turn to ask you some tips about the itinerary that my (future) wife and I planned. It’s gonna be in mid-july, so we didn’t exceed with things to see/do during the day. Nonetheless, we are afraid we’re missing out something we shouldn’t miss.
Both of us are fond of food: if you have any suggestion for restaurants near the attractions we’re visiting, please also feel free to tell us!
