Beautiful place with friendly people. Enjoyed strolling the old town and heading to Parc Royale for the views

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Easy to get around and we had a wonderful time with one exception, the Bateau-Mouche Cruise. They put us on a cruise with about 60 screaming, misbehaving children. It was awful. Even the waiter told us to demand a refund which we didn't get.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Interesting city with an old port area and interesting markets. Restaurants were plentiful and interesting, the inner city is walkable and eSy to navigate. There’s a lot of road construction going on in the city so allow a little longer by car.
