Safiyah.
★★★★★a year agoSuch a gorgeous spot! Feels like walking through old houses but with a chic, modern vibe. Lots of great shops and restaurants here.. Even if you skip the museum, the whole area is a photo-worthy gem.
Alvaro Lau
★★★★★a year agoSmall walkable place full of restaurants and shops. Very lively and always full of people. Worth visiting two times, one during the day and at night, to enjoy it with the lights.
