This was a fun stop, with the toboggan ride and visit to the botanical garden. If you can, allow some time to visit the botanical garden and just walk around the town. ...

A sunny 23 degrees C in November cannot be bad, so we enjoyed their famous custard tarts with coffee and explored the town.

Lovely city and the complete opposite of Casablanca. We did the toboggan ride which was excellent on an MSC excursion, great fun and if you are fit and able, is a must. ...
Went on a 4x4 off road adventure tour, excellent, driver was fun and knowledgeable. The off road part was not very long, but it was an experience to go up the narrow steep road as well.
Nice amount of time at stops, did not feel rushed. Would recommend great day
