We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.

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.

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 place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.
