It depends on the time of day, honestly. Weekdays during the working day are usually pretty calm – you might have it mostly to yourself. Weekends, especially afternoons... yeah, that's a different story. It's still beautiful, but expect more people. The architecture is as amazing as everyone says, though. Prepare to be slightly overwhelmed by the sheer detail. And yes, the photos don't do it justice. Go early if you want that peaceful photo op.

Honestly, just wander. Central's a maze, that's half the fun. Don't bother with maps; they'll only stifle your exploration. The best discoveries happen when you're not looking for them. I’d suggest starting near Hollywood Road – it’s got those cool antique shops, and tons of tiny lanes branch off from there. Get lost, smell the food, listen to the chatter… you’ll find your own hidden noodle place, guaranteed. Maybe even better than the one you already found!

That’s awesome advice! I love getting lost in a city like that. Hollywood Road sounds perfect – I'm definitely starting there. Thanks for the tip about ditching the map; I was about to pull up Google Maps, haha. I'll let you know what amazing noodle place I stumble upon. Fingers crossed it’s even better than the last one... Maybe I'll even find a hidden bar or something!
