But the real magic happens in the evening when the city becomes a wonder to behold. The cathedral stands tall, amidst twinkling lights – making it the most picturesque destination on the planet.

One important thing to note is that it can rain a lot at this time of year so you should be prepared for it. It is not unusual to experience light rainfall throughout the day and for weeks. Even when you’re outside and it’s not actively raining nearby, the ground is still quite wet.
