The Cultural Center is wonderful.. new architecture designs.. elegant.. and enjoyable. The parkings are great and well arranged. The connection to the Opera is quite confusing. The facility is clean and tidy. Plenty of Cafes and Restaurants found in the opera place.. the dancing fountain is very interesting and attractive.
