This is an excellent restaurant which is the new opening in the town and also the talk of the town. The delicacies prepared here are awesome and delicious. The chefs have all come from outside and serve the best of gourmet food. It was exotic and tasty array of food and I highly recommend this place to everyone. Just awesome!!

It was a pleasing and an interesting visit to this great museum. They had a huge collection of fascinating artefacts and culturally infused items. I really enjoyed a few parts of it. It is quite big so you might feel a little bored in between. You can skip through whatever doesn't interest you.

I always wanted to visit this city as it was on my bucket list and there is so much to see here that you really really fell in love with the culture, the buildings, the people and the food of this place. We took the tour package where the guide took us to all the main spots and apart from it, we were able to enjoy so much at the markets of the city and shopped so much stuff.

The [sight.name] is home to a huge collection of art pieces and painting, few of which are really renowned and popular. We got this amazing opportunity to visit this place, get to know the history associated with it and see everything. As an art student and lover, this place was a heaven for me.

The place was great, ambience was amazing and the food was delicious and it brought back a lot of memories of your childhood days since the concept of the place was to make customers nostalgic about the comfort food everyone used to have. It was simply incredible.

This is a marvellous place and has many things to see. We took a road trip to see this place and the journey was also great. The views along the way are stunning and fill your heart with all the warmth. Once you reach there, you simply forget everything else and enjoy the scenic views and appreciate the beauty all around.

If you are planning to visit here, my tip is to choose the free guide tour which is cheaper and has so much information. It is available in several languages and take you through the whole place in a dedicated manner.

We were told about this exhibit by our friends and we got to know about these upcoming artists who have put up an excellent exhibition displaying their amazing art and stunning pieces of paintings. Their work is mainly inspired by street art with the fusion of modern art which might be a little hard for some people to understand but is truly interesting and unique. I say that it is a must visit to support these upcoming artists who have their heart and soul into it.

This was a traditional B&B and was very warm and comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming and nice people. It is very conveniently located and is easy to find. The food from their kitchen was very homely and delicious and they made sure that we had a hearty breakfast. Overall a great experience and we are booking this place again.

I have visited many museums but this by far has been the best and the most beautiful museums i visited. The display is arranged in such a manner that it all looks like some big art. The pieces of the collection are just marvellous and the audio guide present there gives away all the information you need to make it more interesting.

While making our itinerary, we included this place towards the end and thought that incase we are behind time, we will skip it. But thank God, we didn’t because it was one of the greatest places to visit. Easily accessible, conveniently located, gorgeous location and the easy navigation for the entire tour of this place made it much more fun and enjoyable. I will suggest everyone to please visit this place.

Visiting this place has been a very emotional ride since it brings back all the bad memories of old time on how so many people lost their lives and became victims. But nevertheless it is a must visit place because it makes you feel things you never have before.
