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.

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 don’t pay much attention.

The cafe is a little place situated in the middle of the buzzing market of the city and is a cute little place with a really warm ambience and very nice and friendly people and staff. The food was great and had a lot of amazing local flavors. It was totally worth the visit and we really enjoyed the food and hospitality.

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!!

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.

We have visited a lot of parks but this was simply amazing. The walking trail was filled with lush green trees and the pathway was just beautiful. The lake and the mountain in the park are stunning and they also have a kids play area which is a plus for us.

We decided to visit this place and I think that because it was the weekend, it was too crowded. We were not able to have a good tour since so many people were there and it was not a very nice experience. The place seemed good but I guess the crowd ruined it for us.

This was a beautiful park which has pretty scenery and lush greenery. It has walking pathways with proper trails lined with pretty trees and there are also plenty of benches to sit there for the people. The musical fountain was the highlight and it was amazing.

We stayed in this hotel and it was a wonderful experience. Everything was perfect, the staff was really nice and polite and the food preparation was awesome. The view of the river by the room is exceptional and you get to enjoy your breakfast in bed looking at this gorgeous view. Overall it was a great experience and if you are in the city, don’t miss this one. Stay here and feel awesome.
