  • Lovely place to visit and if you are in the area, I would recommend a visit. There are a few quirky statues of naked men on plinths dotted around that I didn't get the relevance but even that said...

  • This is a really beautiful part of the city - the red buildings and tiled floor are so striking. Interesting place to people watch and the fountain is impressive.

  • Very disappointed with the way the carnival was conducted. The place itself was ok but man is there 0 information about what happens on opening night. They say its free for entry and then when you queue up suddenly everyone has tickets. They block the whole view from the sides for the carnival and hold it in a super exclusive staged area. We travelled all the way from UK for this for nothing. If people say we should have bought tickets in advance, its clearly mentioned on the website that its free on opening day and doesn't mention about any tickets!
  • Beautiful place with a lot going on all the time. So worth going there!
