Why go
This northbound route gives visitors a change of scale from the central market to a quieter church frontage and the green edge of the city. Start at Fera ’o Luni, then make a short exterior stop at Santa Maria di Gesù before continuing to the Museo Tattile Multimediale. Its guided visit lasts 90 minutes and needs advance booking; arrange that slot first and build the walk around it. Parco Gioeni makes a relaxed outdoor finish after the structured tour. The walk between these places is longer than the tight historic-centre routes, so allow generous transfer time and skip the market if its activity does not fit your booked start.
