Pleasant, beautiful neighbourhood with lots to see and do. Cultural visits to the many museums and parks, with plenty of cosiness from shops, cafés and restaurants. It is a lively neighbourhood, but you can also find enough peace and quiet if you need it. Public transport is available everywhere, so you can easily travel to another neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone is very much to themselves, little contact with neighbours. I don't mind that much myself. Lots of supermarkets, shops and cafés. Very accessible by public transport, which I use very often.
