My recommendations:

- Visit museums on the first Sunday of the month, they are free.
- Watch your belongings due to the high frequency of robbery.
- Always wear comfortable shoes. I would recommend not wearing high heels. Only take them if you need to.
- Always carry cash.
- Double check that public places are open.
You can use water from public water fountain which is called nasoni (find a picture below to see map with fountains).
