Weekly markets and public squares draw families who meet to stroll and spend time together. The marina and waterfront promenade are popular meeting spots for evening walks.
Getting there is easiest by metro, which runs directly into the center and offers connections to the tram. Walkways are mostly covered or shaded, which helps during high temperatures.
