Traveler reviews
Justine Desgagne
★★★★★a month agoVery antique, beautiful stores and overall great experience. It was crowded but it was welcoming with great shops and restaurants. I would not recommend for kids because of the crowded rooms and intense smoking. Although great for pictures and window shopping. I would love to go back.
Ciku Kanyi
★★★★★8 months agoInteresting historical landmark. It’s decorated very well and is amazing for photos. There’s many small boutique shops and restaurants to visit so i would recommend going with an appetite and some cash.
