- The Old Fortress suits a dry day, with fortifications and views of the town and sea. Slopes and steps make it a more active option than a walk through the centre.
- For rainy weather, the Museum of Asian Art occupies the Palace of St Michael and St George. Its indoor galleries include Chinese porcelain, Japanese art and samurai armour.
