The author guides readers through promenades, bridges, towers, and museums, discusses changes from recent urban development and preservation efforts, and notes local festivals, markets, and horticultural displays. Frequent attention is paid to mountain panoramas seen from the quay or steamboat, the contrast between antiquity and modern hotel life, and the role of art and conservation in shaping civic identity. Practical route suggestions and illustrated views accompany historical anecdotes to orient visitors and convey the region's scenic variety.
