24 Cultural highlights and attractions
Art is more than just museums and famous landmarks. We bring you cultural insights and spots worth your attention.
We don’t limit ourselves to “must-see” and the biggest museums on the main streets, so we also recommend those that most guides and travel books overlook. Here, you’ll find both classic works and contemporary art that truly resonates. It doesn’t matter what inspires you—avant-garde exhibitions or quiet galleries—what matters is that the art connects with you and stays with you.
