I was lucky enough to visit this architectural marvel a couple of weeks before Christmas and it was a stunning time to be there. It's best to visit it at different times of the day, as during daylight, you can appreciate the beauty of the buildings and a huge Christmas tree. Then as night falls, the building all light up in a striking display to music. And it's wondrous. Then I suggest you wander off to either fill up on chocolate or grab dinner and watch the world go by. Though in December, I wouldn't sit outside as it was freezing!
