The police advised me not not wear any jewellery, it gets ripped off. There are beggars and homeless people all over the streets and in the parks. Buskers and acrobats too which can be nice.

It is well connected by the two tram routes, has cafes available all day for meals and people-watching, is close to the old town shopping, and medieval town streets, has a handy tourist kiosk with rental bikes, and linked to the indoor shopping...

Not a nice atmosphere - everything seemed claustrophobic and I felt concerned for my security. Lots of Sans Domicile Fixe people (homeless) dirty young men and women with scary big dogs, lots of gypsies begging More

This is a busy (large) square in the city, where there is loads of activity. There are lots of cafes and restaurants from which you can watch the world go by. Its busy from morning till night and you could easily spend a long time just people watching!! More
