Kjøp buss- og trikkebilletter i den offisielle appen eller i kiosker før ombordstigning, sjåfører selger kanskje ikke kontantbilletter og bøter er reelle.

Følte meg trygg å gå alene om natten, lokalbefolkningen var høflige. Noen turistfeller ved hovedattraksjonene gjorde noen måltider dyre.

Vakker arkitektur, utelivet er rolig. Ikke en festby, men museer, gallerier og koselige barer var herlige.

Matutvalget var mindre enn jeg håpet, mange like menyer. Likte likevel rugbrødet, røkt fisk og billige bakerier.
