Je me suis senti(e) en sécurité en marchant seul la nuit, les locaux étaient polis. Quelques pièges à touristes près des sites principaux ont rendu certains repas chers.

Belle architecture, la vie nocturne est douce. Pas une ville de fête, mais les musées, galeries et bars conviviaux étaient charmants.

La variété de plats était moindre que je l'espérais, beaucoup de menus similaires. J'ai quand même adoré le pain de seigle, le poisson fumé et les boulangeries bon marché.
