The central area keeps shops, plazas, and transit links within reasonable reach, while surrounding hillside neighborhoods offer scenic views at the cost of steeper streets and longer trips into downtown. First-time visitors often lean toward the more central option for simplicity.
The city's parks and hillside viewpoints are pleasant to explore for much of the year, given the region's mild highland climate. As this is in the Southern Hemisphere, the warmer months run from around December through February.
Buses cover most routes around the city, while taxis and ride-hailing apps offer a more direct option for door-to-door trips. The hilly terrain can make walking longer distances more strenuous. Allowing extra time during busier hours is a sensible habit for visitors.
