A fantastic city - so much to see and do and with plenty of day trip activities. Calm and laid back, but bustling at the same time. Great dining options and lots of cool bars and shops. Make you sure you also explore beyond the old town.

A beautiful city with outstanding architecture, many, many bars and restaurants with excellent food, great prices and warm hospitality. The long history is fascinating although the events between 1939 and 1945 are upsetting at times.
