City advice
What to pack
Bring a rain jacket and sweater!
Our summer can be wonderful but the weather can change quickly. If the winter isn't harsh it's mild which calls for a great pair of boots and a packable rain jacket.
Getting around
A taxi is the best way to get around!
Our bus routes are built more for our students and workforce so their routes are long and not convenient for travellers.
