Museums
A quiet, low-key musem with interesting rotating exhibitions, along with permanent collections. An easy 10-15 minute walk from the apartment, this is worth a visit for a nice day of learning, touring the museum grounds, and reading a book outside the museum cafe.

Parks
A stunningly beautiful park any time of year. We love coming here for picnics, easy walks/hikes, or a nature run. Great if you have dog(s)!
P.S. This park is also home of the recently collapsed bridge!

Coffeeshops
You know it's good when you can smell bread baking before you see the building! Just a 5-minute walk from the apartment, you'll likely see a line out the door at this amazing bakery - no matter the day or time. We recommend calling ahead to place your order if you're in a rush (pick up at the back door). If you have time, enjoy a mouth-watering French sandwich or croissant under the impressive trees just outside the cafe. This place is a must-visit!
