Nice place to visit! There are plenty of interesting museums, great walking areas, relaxing spots, and the architecture is definitely beautiful. It’s a wonderful place to spend time with family and enjoy the many amenities available. Parking was fairly easy to navigate, and the map directions were clear and helpful. Overall, a great destination for a day out or a weekend visit.
