Ignore the overpriced coffee at that iconic yellow cafe; it exists solely for your Instagram feed and the service is abysmal. Real history hides in the Roman columns embedded into the Hotel Nord-Pinus facade. Spend 45 minutes people-watching, but skip the $117 Van Gogh walking tours unless you really love paying for lectures you can read on Wikipedia. Grab a pastry from a local bakery nearby instead, soak in the plaza energy, and save your cash.
