Explore a city of quirky character and diverse architecture

The capital’s buzzing centre is compact enough to be discovered on foot, and it has a quirky appeal that’s hard to resist. The diverse mix of buildings in the centre adds interest to the city’s appearance. You’ll find old tenement buildings mixed with ornate guild houses and the iconic Town Hall. This unique blend of architectural styles makes for an engaging study tour experience, highlighting the city's historical layers.
