Traveler reviews
Sasha Tråp
★★★★★8 years agoAh, that's sweet. Must be a great place to catch a breath in summer. In winter it is still green and sunny but the stone benches don't look all too inviting on a windy day. Still. A very interesting landscape work for a city centre park of this size
Ricardo P
★★★★★10 years agoYou will either love or find this garden boring and uninspired. Not my cup of tea. Place is too noisy for my taste, lots of traffic, also too much shadow IMO.
