Each wooden structure comes from a different region of the country, representing life in the countryside. Among the buildings one can admire farmhouses, windmills and churches, while the signs on them inform you of their place of origin and construction. We will continue our tour of the city, admiring the palaces of the royal family, the Greek church reminiscent of the Parthenon, the Military Academy, the Arc de Triomphe which is inspired by that of Paris, the Firefighter’s museum, etc. Return to the hotel and free time to walk on your own through the avenues of the city and the alleys of the historic center.
