Before you go
The walk follows cobbled streets, so wear comfortable shoes. Ask about the Opera visit when you book: it depends on the theatre’s schedule, so mentioning it early gives you the best chance of seeing the building inside. The meeting point, date and any specific access needs are arranged with the organiser.
