Local Michellin star restaurant that still feels warm and inviting. You should definitely book but they do often leave places open for locals so call on the day and you might get lucky.

One of UNESCO World Heritage sites, and one of the 500 places to see before you die... it's just gorgeous. Take a walk around the precincts, there are multiple walled gardens and the crypt are normally open, if you're lucky the choir will be practicing when you visit.
