Traveler advice
Book before you go
Book restaurants in advance
We highly recommend that you book places well in advance of your staff. While there are plenty of walk in options nearby, if you are looking for something special or specific then you will need to book in advance.
Getting around
Parking Options
The flat is located in the heart of the old town which makes parking challenging. There are a few parking centres in close proximity that, when booked ahead, are quite reasonable. Link to search is below.
Alternatively there are park and ride facilities around the outskirts of the city.
