Strolling around the old town is interesting and generally pleasant. While the area is still in transition, there are many buildings of historical interest and a good selection of restaurants and bars.

You will something for everyone in this area. Places to eat, nightclubs and bars, and lot of open areas to sit, relax and make friends.

The same type of place as anywhere else in Europe -- Barcelona, Lisbon, Athens: pedestrian-only area filled with restaurants, cafes, little shops and street performers. Great people watching and coffee drinking. A bonus is that most places accept credit cards.

Eclectic mix of restaurants and clubs and shops. Great place to just wander or stop for a coffee on a patio and people watch.

We took a taxi to the old part of town on a Sunday evening last week of February. It was cold and light rain. i did not think there would be many people walking about.

The old town section has some interesting architecture but also has some shops to be ignored. There is a small cafe, Chocolat De Gout or the "Boutique" that is a great place to stop for coffee, hot chocolate, or lunch Some of the best, and prettiest, pastries to be found anywhere.

I love walking through here and dreaming about the past. Each building has unique details, and you cannot help trying to imagine the life of people here 100 years ago. Now, lots of cafes and restaurants...very pleasant.

Old town has a funky feel to it, so it does aim to be hip, however the streets seem filthy and I find it hard to enjoy. Parking is always a hassle; you get hounded by the illegitimate "parking" people or by cops threatening to tow you. The area is fairly sketchy and popular with teenagers.

Lots of restaurants and pubs here. Food and drinks are pretty cheap (a meal is probably £10 per person and a beer is like 20p).
