Half a day · Our reception recommends
Children remember above all the things that move: the hammers in the City Hall Tower, which strike every quarter of an hour, and the sphere on the Moon Church, which shows the phases of the Moon. The walk ends at the Fortress, on the walls and in the museum with galleries for younger visitors.
A morning or an afternoon. An hour and a half on foot.
