View staysBuild the day around the barbecue zones
Choose a food zone first
The program separates local beef and pork, global barbecue, charcoal grills, and creator-led menus. Pick a priority before joining a line.
Arrive before dinner
Late afternoon and evening draw the longest food lines. Come earlier for the fortress walk and stay for the main performances.
Use the old town route
The fortress, history museum, government compound, and traditional market are close enough to combine on foot.
