Use the city's hills and viewpoints for a photo challenge, send the groom on a pastry-and-cherry-liqueur dare through the old streets, and hop between the bars of the old quarters with a dare at every stop. Trams and narrow streets are busy, so keep the props small and the group together.
Mind the hills and the trams. Streets are steep and the old trams are crowded, so keep the group together and the props light.
