However, we stayed in the middle of the city and that made it great. Walking around at night after the day tourists left was very enjoyable.

This. It gets VERY crowded during the day. Definitely worth 1-2 days but you probably won’t ever go back.

We did see a guy get pickpocketed (keep your distance from the street vendors selling toys). Victim chased the guy down and brought him to police, but I saw the same guy back on the street later the same day. Keep your wallet in your front pocket and you’ll be fine.

Skip the gondola ride.
