The architecture of town hall, I believe, is based on the one in Ghent and it is very splendid indeed. If it is open to visitors, the Great Hall is certainly worth a visit. And there's a tea room as well!

Didn't except much from the town hall but it really delivered. It is simply nice to enjoy a afternoon coffee after shopping in town and gaze at this impressive building. So much detail, everytime you go back to notice something different from the visit before.

Combination of cultures-tour guide explained the history clearly. Surprises await you in the back!! Very beautiful woodwork, stonework and tile...and its a working bldg, not just for tourism.

lovely cool bit of history set inside this still working building - so impressive. Really handy for the city centre and really nice coffee house.

Try the cafe in the foyer, it is like having tea in a museum! Big leather chairs and sofas to sit in and statues all around you. Quick service and friendly staff.

Last time, we got an individually guided tour in the building by a gentleman. The lobby tea room is just great.

Just walk in & do your own... The staff keeps to themselves & will not ask many questions... Explore the building & every open door or window you find... You will easily find that time will fly as you view the glass work, arches, stairways & more...

Went as a guest to a wedding here and the place was great. Staff were lovely and very helpful and attentive. The venue was wonderfully decorated and the drinks were reasonably priced.
