If a ship is in, do Monte and the market in the afternoon.<\/p>\n<h2>When it&#8217;s best<\/h2>\n<p>Early. Ships mostly arrive between six and eight and leave again in the early evening. Look at nine and you can see the shape of your day.<\/p>\n<h2>Watch it or go?<\/h2>\n<p>Watching is enough. The pier itself is working port, not a walk.
