I really enjoyed being away from the business of the City Center night life. The tram made it simple to go in and out of the main city but we had the quiet in the evenings of a residential area. I would advise getting a 48 hour tram pass if you are planning on staying for a couple of days. This will save you money and you can use it on any of the trams to move around the city. Also ask Nathalie about the local market - buying souveniers was less expensive there and also it was a great way to see how the locals live (Be sure to try the freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh smoothies - YUM)
