Risk factors

Consideration must be given to the preservation of the area's cultural heritage. The cobblestone streets may be challenging for equipment transport, and specific permissions are required for commercial filming to protect the site.

It's a popular tourist destination, particularly in summer. Early mornings or late evenings might offer quieter moments for shooting, with off-season periods providing a more solitary backdrop.
