Traveler advice
Getting around
Parking
Parking can be extremely difficult after 5pm. Please be aware of this if you plan on using a car to get around. Using a ride-share service is suggested if you’re not traveling far, and for even closer trips within the city I would recommend walking or using an E-scooter.
