Excellente manière de découvrir la ville et l'histoire de celle-ci. Les 3 visites sont vraiment intéressantes et d'avoir accès aux 3 bus verts, rouges et bleus durant 48h donne le temps d'apprécier.

An sich eine tolle Sache. Man kann die Hop on-Hop off Busse nutzen und muss bei den 3 Sehenswürdigkeiten nicht anstehen. Allerdings hat man auch nur 48 Stunden und man muss sich ganz schön sputen,...
An sich eine tolle Sache. Man kann die Hop on-Hop off Busse nutzen und muss bei den 3 Sehenswürdigkeiten nicht anstehen. Allerdings hat man auch nur 48 Stunden und man muss sich ganz schön sputen, denn man will bei so einem Städtetrip auch noch etwas anderes unternehmen.
