Def the best hotel! In the city center, HUGE rooms with vaulted ceilings, the bathtubs with jets and LIGHTS, awesome rooftop bar, spa with pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and salt cave!
My second favorite hotel. Located a ways from the city center, but a really cool old mansion turned into a hotel. Good for a couples getaway. 24-hour pool, Jacuzzi, and sauna is a winner =)
Pretty standard as far as hotels go. But nice in that it's kind of right between the city center and the main parks / zoo side of town.
Nice in that it's as close as to the city center as can be. But honestly my least favorite of the 4 hotels I've so been to.
Main plaza in the city center. Really nice, but this is definitely where all the tourists go, pretty much a must though. Learn to ignore the promoters trying to get you to come to their strip clubs.
An absolutely fantastic Zoo, been here twice and still haven't seen it all. Weekdays aren't as crowded as the weekends, but there are a lot more students and kids on class trips, so...
Huge park that's really nice for families. Lots of little things to see inside the park and also lots of food trucks near the main building in the center.
Huge fountain in the middle of the park... Really cool light and music show every hour (I think, or just periodically). Good spot for families and little kiddies.
Really cool Japanese garden, good chance you'll see people taking their wedding photos here. Not sure if you have to pay to get in, but I recommend just stealthily walking in and around the counter...
My favorite spot to hang out on the river... as well as lots of other people =) always gonna find lots of others here
Part of a nice stroll along the islands. Here supposedly the streetlamps are still gas and you can watch the guy light them in the evenings.
Nothing special, but I just like this little red bridge. Makes the stroll along the islands that much nicer.
Next part of your stroll through the islands. Here there are always lots of people chilling. And on the river there are a few restaurant/bar boats docked.
Very pretty church on the main island. Great view over the river. Here you can also catch some riverboat tours.
Really pretty bridge along the island stroll and heading over to the churches. Here's where you put your padlock with your lover and through away the key.
Great for a stroll along the river. Lots of statues, chairs, benches, and other niceties.
Pretty much walking anywhere along the river is nice, lots of nice promenades. Also lots of riverboat tours around.
Supposedly really cool. I've only ever seen it from the outside since they close at 6pm...
Really cool plaza out front with some nice sculptures. Probably also cool inside.
Just cool walking along the backside of the zoo and along the river. Very much like the towpath and Ohio-Erie Canal!
Nice little gated park with a playground for kids and nice fountain just outside next to the main building (whatever it might be)
So yeah, here next to the zoo, the totally have a dinosaur zoo. That's right, a DINOSAUR ZOO!!
Nice small plaza right next to the main square. Often have different things set up here. Also a flower market at all times.
Awesome brewery with a good selection of beers on draft, both local and from abroad. Pork rib is outstanding and pierogies the best I've ever had! Sitting inside is better in my opinion.
Nearly the best ice cream I've EVER had! The caramel and chocolate ice cream are out this world, and make sure to get their chocolate waffle cones, not chocolate-covered, but chocolate!
Great cafe after strolling through this big park and then watch the water fountain. The one chocolate cake they have with crunchy bits is amazing!
Also predictably touristy being on the main plaza, but nice outside seating area and good for people watching. Food also a bit pricey, but good.
Restaurant in the Sofitel. Certainly recommend going out for your meals, but the breakfast is quite good.
Haven't actually been to the restaurant, but the building is really cool and you can stroll through into their garden along the river =P
Great student bar right near the center of the city. Always a good amount of people and cheap prices.
Really cool cocktail bar with nearly anything you could imagine. Their long island iced teas will keep you going for the whole night!
Quite touristy since it's right on the main square, but I gotta say, their drinks, a.k.a. jars, are quite good. Get a double and you'll be set.
Really cool outdoor patio in the back, easiest to get there by going through the park walkway in the back actually. Food is meh, but they've got good beers and cocktails.
Really cool beach bar on the canal. And yes, it is a beach where you can sit and chill in lounge chairs.
Like a Polish version of a pub. Good crowd inside, tends to be a bit business-ier since it's right across from the Sofitel, but prices are decent and they've got a lot.
Nice German Bierhalle for those who miss beer in Bavarian quantities. Always quite a happening crowd.
Best described as an "American Pub", kinda like sports bar with lots of TV. Couldn't get NFL on though, although not for lack of trying!
As far as pubs go, it's all right. Not very Irish, but if you absolutely need a Guinness...
