General comments | | | | | | |
The city is famous for being one of the most culturally diverse in the entire country. There are many different areas of the city that are perfect places to see and meet people from all over the world. Some sections are more sophisticated and well-built than others, but there are some others that have the feeling of a large street market, where you will rub elbows with people all over. This is also the type of place that you will get pickpocketed in as well. | | | | | | |
