Great tour. Certainly a good first day "intro" as it hit the major highlights. Spoiler alert....the City Hall does have a public bathroom. Thanks for introducing us to your lovely city.

Great tour around the city that covers every place you need to see! Definitely recommend. You can make it shorter by not walking around the lake but rather just going to city centre and then carrying on to the next point.
