There are two easy ways to take a tour of the city - by taking the bus or the train. Either way, there’s enough of the city to satisfy your entire five senses.
The tourist bus is a double decker with a capacity for 74 people. What’s good about it is that it caters to passengers of different languages. Impressively, it has an advanced sound system that gives individual information in eight different languages.
On the other hand, touring by train is a very enjoyable and unconventional way to see the city, especially for the kids. The itinerary lasts half an hour and goes by at a slow place. It has an efficient sound system and a guide - hostess to keep you well informed.
