Chill With A Beer
by johngayton

When the sun's out the riverside park on the west bank in front of the old city is the place to hang out. Here you can just sit and watch the world go by, enjoy the music from the buskers as they work the restaurant terraces, take a book to read, have a snooze in the sun or even enjoy your takeaway sausage with a beer.

Unlike the UK it's almost de rigeur here to have a few beers in public and even the serious drinkers are civilized with it.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
