Don’t skip the little gift shop at the end – they have unique souvenirs that you won't find anywhere else in the city. I found a beautiful print of the stained glass windows that I absolutely love!

Don't miss the Grand Hall; it's a killer spot for photos! Get there early in the day when it’s less crowded for the best shots.

Grab a coffee and a pastry at one of the bakeries, then find a nice spot to sit and enjoy the vibe. It’s a great way to take a break and people-watch.
