Have a drink / Go out

The many local caboulots allow atmosphere, bombance and more if desired.

Housing

You will have to choose between two types of accommodation:

• the city center, convenient for going out at night and relatively close to the zoo and the botanical garden
• "beach" hotels far from the city center but which allow you to swim easily.

Be careful, very few taxis run at night. If you are in a remote hotel, you will need to have your own transportation to get out into town at night.
