Timeline

  1. 10:00

    Money Museum

    Visit the Money Museum. It is free and open from 10:00 on weekdays. The collection of coins and bills from around the world is a calm, indoor start to the day.

  2. 10:45

    Mano Guru

    Walk five minutes to Mano Guru for a late breakfast or early lunch. This mostly vegetarian spot is open from 10:00 and offers a quiet place to sit. The staff are former drug misusers who have turned their lives around.

  3. 11:15

    Gate of Dawn

    Walk 24 minutes SSE to the Gate of Dawn. This is the last survivor of the walled city's nine gates. Straddling the gate is a chapel with a large icon that draws pilgrims and tourists alike.

Local tip

The Money Museum is located within a bank. Check the route if you are unsure of the exact entrance. The walk to the Gate of Dawn is straightforward but takes some time, so leave enough buffer.
