This place is filled with tourist attractions so you have a lot of options for sightseeing. We made a list of places we wanted to see and missed out on a few museums and other places. Overall we really liked the city and the places here and it was an amazing vacation with the family.. We decided to visit this city for the first time and therefore opted for sightseeing tours where the people can take us through all the major tourist destinations and also keep guiding us with the historical background of the places. It was a really nice experience and we got to enjoy ourselves a lot. Thank you to the whole team for great organising.
We went to this amazing place and loved the view and the scenery. The place was really crowded as it is one of the most famous tourist attractions but you need to look out for pickpockets here because apparently a lot can happen here if you dont pay much attention.
Let others know your experience here.
