Spring brings a slower, clear-eyed pace to the walkable center. Café tables start to spill outward, shutters open earlier, and the streets feel made for wandering between the canal path and quiet squares, with more time for lingering than rushing.

Summer stretches the day into long, sociable evenings. The center feels most active after dinner, when people drift outside for unhurried drinks, late conversation, and a warm, public rhythm that stays close to the street.
