FredZiffle Posted December 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 12, 2015 We took a taxi from the port to the fort with the intent of catching another taxi when we were ready to visit the walled city. From what I had read here, it didn't sound like walking was a good option. But, once we were in the fort, we could easily see the road leading to the clock tower entrance to the walled city, and it didn't look too bad, so we decided to walk it. The walk was actually pretty easy - all level and while the sidewalk was broken up in spots, you always at least had a dirt path so you weren't walking in the road. Not once did we feel the least bit unsafe. There were locals walking (mothers and children) the same route and lots of vehicle traffic, so it's not like you're walking down deserted streets. We even passed a police station on the way. It took about 15 minutes to reach the old town. There's even a nice park on your right just before you reach old town that is worth exploring. Hope this helps someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted December 13, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 13, 2015 We have visited this area a few times but never walked it. Nice to know you could do that. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmarya Posted December 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 27, 2015 We also did this walk a few years ago. We walked purposefully and never felt unsafe. It is not that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoafmom Posted November 2, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Great info! Do you remember how much the taxi ride was and the price of entrance to the fort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
