Arts & Culture

Great arthouse cinema with a huge number of screens, though some of them are tiny, and charming as it is, it is perhaps overdue for a face-lift. Still very worthwhile though.

Parks & Nature

A great place to go for a walk and run, and on a sunny day is a popular picnic spot . There is a playground for people with children, and tennis courts that can be booked by the hour if you are keen.
