Alt. transport
Bus and Metro are actually sometimes the fastest form of transport – though they can be crowded. Do not get caught without your bus ticket in hand – the fines are 50 euros per person aboard. Watch for pickpockets on public rides.

Cultural
A few apps to inspire. Don’t miss the MIC card if you want to see a lot of art.
