Its atmosphere buzzes with energy from music pubs, bars, and clubs that draw diverse crowds into the night. The surrounding Steintor district features a unique array of eateries and businesses catering to every social stratum.
The open elliptical space hosts civic engagements, protests, cultural performances, and sports events.
