Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
Dramatic little crags, a natural-feeling valley walk and a summer outdoor pool make it locals' green escape inside the city limits, reachable by tram.
Not independently verified — estimatedIt's well off the tourist map with basic, seasonal facilities — 'nice city nature' rather than a wow destination, and skippable on a short trip.

A relaxed half-day for residents-style downtime, with the summer pool for families.
