Beautiful castle up on hill with stunning views of the surrounding city, river, and hills! Don’t miss the Crown Tower with several steep staircases up for final 360 degree views from the top. Informative history and art exhibitions inside as well as manicured garden outside.

So much fun! A diversity of food vendors and little shops selling cards and flowers. Definitely stop by if you’re in the area. I went in the morning so most booths were still closed but I’m sure it gets lively in the afternoons! Lots of cuisines inside to try including Moroccan, Italian, etc. I included a photo of the stall map so you can get a sense of what’s currently there, enjoy!

What a beautiful walkway, grass, viewpoint and more! Such a nice view of the river and bridges, so many people out enjoying the evening, great to see - you should definitely check it out if you’re nearby!

What a great place! This is the largest collection of Chihuly sculptures outside of his own museum in Seattle. Such a delight to see his art in concert with the gorgeous plants and flowers 🌺 (I attached a map of his art pieces around the gardens). Most of the best parts are inside so even if the weather is not great, still an awesome visit! Also a full children’s play area on the lower level. Plus a cafe and nice gift shop - you’ll enjoy! 🌈

Really fun BBQ place with outdoor dog-friendly seating! Lots of meats and sides. I would recommend the “2 x 2” platter so you can try two of the meat options and two of the sides. Highly enjoyed the cole slaw! They make their own BBQ sauce, and it’s not very spicy, which is nice. Plus, they let you specify how fatty you want the pulled pork, which is fantastic. Waiters are kind and helpful. Wonderful corn muffins and tons of beer options. Overlooking the downtown plaza so overall a convenient location but not much shade ☀️
