Good to know
- Every restaurant terrace on the square charges a view premium; have a drink here if you like, but eat a few streets away.
- In mid-August of even years the Flower Carpet covers the square; the Christmas light show runs in winter.
- Pickpockets work the crowds watching the facades: keep phones and wallets in front.
