to getting to the city centre. Alternatively, you may try calling to one of local taxi
services to fetch you.

architecture to stay true to form. It contains one of the world's most pristine and
varied collections of architecture, from Art Nouveau to Baroque, Renaissance, Cubist,
Gothic, Neo-Classical and ultra-modern.
