Best way to see the city

If you want to know how the communist past influenced the present, I definitely recommend Maya's tour.

Grandiose Tour

Die Zeit auf dem Rad mit Maya durch die Stadt verging wie im Flug. Mit ihrer netten Art hat sie uns viele Dinge über die Geschichte des Landes, die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt aber auch die aktuelle politische Lage berichtet. Wir können sie wärmstens empfehlen und würden sofort wieder eine Tour mit ihr machen. Danke für alles!

Relaxing tour with a bike

Tour with a bike is a really nice way to see the city. For 2 hours Maya showed me all the main sigths and shared some interesting facts.
