Was amazing, a beauty to see, its the City Center, I would suggested to do the bus tour it takes you through the entire city and u can even take the boat with the same tickets for 24 hours, its very cost effected, $38 per person and u get to hap off the bus and on, you can even stop at the beach and have a good time and jump right back on the bus. The city is very clean, the hospitality was great

What a lovely place to sit & relax after walking more than 10k steps. Thoroughly enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere the violin guy playing beautifully & the tiny toddlers enjoying his music too. A must visit place in the evening.
