Tired of the typical boring guides? This guide tries to do the same as the “ask a local”, but it is (maybe!) better organized and more complete. In all our guides, we hire a “local” writer, and then we edit to be sure that the guide is complete, unique, fun and interesting. Typically we won’t add maps or photos (just a few), since you can have all that on the internet, and we like to give you only unique and original content that you won’t find easily.
