This statue is one of those things that you go to see when you go to a city to check the box. Everyone else is also there doing the same thing.

The crowds aren't terrible in the winter! Note 2: Look at the buildings, not the stuff to buy! Hard to do, but do it! You will notice all the tiny buildings and architecture, a number of them have the year they were built. Look inside the shops - look for the tiny stair cases to the upstairs! We cruised thru the area looking for the oldest buildings, enjoying our walk.
