★★★★★6 months agoVery beautifully decorated place with a blue lit tree and many idyllic lights and picture spots! We took many pictures and wherever you stand, the atmosphere is amazing and very festive. I was glad to visit during the Christmas season as to see these decorations, lights, and the Christmas markets which all come together due to the different places that were so well decorated and organized.
