Seeing all the colors of fresh produce and flowers as well as the fresh baked items sold throughout the market will leave a positive impression on your day. You can't help being happy from the experience. If I could only live there, I would eat healthier, drink better wine and enjoy what the region has to offer. It would become part of my weekly journey through life.

Similar to money certificates. And a movie theater explaining the history of the man. Birth to death. Really great 3 hours. Nice little Art shop at the end.

Since I moved to Germany something has sparked for me because now I find myself fascinated that before all this super old stuff there's all this OTHER super old stuff from a totally different CIVILIZATION. Awesome, right? The Temple of Isis is really cool. It was unearthed in 2000 during the construction of the Romer Passage shopping center. The mall was built up around it, and the archaeology site turned into a museum, complete with lots of artifacts like fertility sculptures and pottery. Oh yeah, this once in a lifetime discovery? Free to the public.
