this is a place good for food and well, i won't recommend that travelers stay there cos it's really quite out of the way. the food market there was quite good. After some food, you could buy some takeaway for a small picnic at Fisherman's wharf. All in all, a good place to visit and it would take about 5hours... More

I myself went there while at a conference, but I wished I was there with my girlfriend. It's a relaxing walk by the water, lined with lots of food stores, and the occasional street musician. It's...
