Areas along the waterfront and near the city center put promenades, shopping, and transit within easy reach, while districts further inland are quieter and more residential. Staying near the main coastal boulevard keeps most sights within a short trip.
The long seafront promenade is pleasant for a walk at almost any time of day, though the cooler, drier autumn months are especially comfortable. Island and coastal excursions are best planned around the calmer, less humid season.
Buses and taxis cover the city well, and the coastal roads make for an easy, scenic drive or rideshare trip. Given the city's spread-out layout, a bicycle or car is more practical than walking for longer distances.
Autumn brings the driest, most comfortable weather, following a hot and humid summer that carries some risk of typhoons. Winters are mild, making the cooler months generally the more pleasant time to visit.
