Summary:
We enjoyed our day trip, beautiful buildings to see. We chose to go on the tour bus and saw and heard a lot of interesting things about the city which time would not have allowed had we not done this. We visited the Haribo shop which was excellent. We also enjoyed some very A wonderful nice food and drinks from the many restaurants available. The information office was very helpful. If a visit to the Cathedral is on your list to visit check the closing times as we unfortunately missed out on this as we arrived too late.
