A shopping city - masses of underground shops so even when its raining you can spend money! The city itself has varied quarters the gothic part is pleasant but stay elsewhere if you can as its a bit scary in the dark !

Accommodations:
Try and get booked in at the main Youth Hostel as there are some cheap places but very dodgy and unsafe if there was a fire !
