Relaxing tour

A town full of nice food, shopping and places worth visit. I would say all are walking distance and cool weather. Save to walk around and kind people around the town.

Busy town worth to spend a few hours in

Watch out for the traffic tough. You can make good bargains here. For example I changed my iPhone 6s plus screen for about 20 US dollars in 45 min.

There's loads of places for a beer. There's a couple of places right on the lakeside and plenty of places overlooking the lake. Lots of cafes/bars/ restaurants around the streets.
