I went in Feb 2004 and it was fantastic. Being from Australia the concept of snow and sub zero temps is quite amazing. Not to mention getting on the plane in shorts and 37 degrees celcius and hoping off in sub zero temps.

Its much more like old Europe than a commercial hub with lots of curvy streets and not many buildings over 5 stories.

Check out the church built into the ground and if you are there in winter there is a fantastic coffee shop on the main blvd…just can’t remember the name ;-)
