You get a feel for the atmosphere, and always hook up with lots of people who are coming back from trips in-country that can give you so much valuable, current advice. I found if you hang out in them for more than a week or so, they lose their appeal, but for me they become sort of a home base to regroup for a couple of days.

Unbelievably touristy, but such an amazing spot, with 14th century walls enclosing the cobbled streets of the old town.
