Traveler advice
Getting around
Walk!
We are 10 min from everything and this is a relatively flat, walkable city.
Ways to save
Culture cab app
Log in and get a lift to any of the city’s attractions for free. The library downtown has passes to some of the attractions and there is lots of outdoor space as well as gardens to stroll through.
Ways to save
Rush seats go on sale by 930 am at any theatre. Add a play!
Book the one you really want to see but do add a second play and extend your stay. There isn’t a bad seat in the house. Buy the cheapest and enjoy!
Don't miss
Public buildings
There is some amazing architecture here so walking around some of the neighborhoods will give you an eyeful. Do pop in to the courthouse and city hall for a glimpse of free history.
