If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country.

Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

July and August mark the peak of summer, with temperatures seldom exceeding 20C, providing a comfortable climate for exploring the city and its surroundings.
