Parks & Nature
The main characteristic of this park is that it's located in the city centre. Still, you'll see the most uncommon and strange things here, from homeless people playing the guitar, families having a brunch or a birthday party, people practising slacklining, big BBQs, to young skaters proving their incredible abilities. All that in like 10 minutes walking.
