As I already know the city very well, I have no worries when I'm there. I feel comfortable there, even if the dimensions of the city can seem intimidating at first.

It’s wonderful. I did not participate much in nightlife but enjoyed what I did. I also did not use public transportation much.
I'll go back tomorrow if I get the chance. It's so huge, I barely got to see any of it!
Great cities with tons of historical things that you must do if you have the time.
