Aside from the adventure, the architecture and weather itself gives off a European look and style, attracting people from all over the country. It is the perfect escape from the heat, in order to get a sense of adventure. Although it is 2200 meters high, a golf cart is available for those not able to walk much at that altitude.

The city is surrounded by mountains and hills, allowing visitors to enjoy the fresh crisp air. The mountains are also known to get foggy with visitors being able to walk through the clouds!

The city also contains gift shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and picture-sites. There is an art wall located in the middle of the city, perfect for the Instagram feed!
