Creator's Key Takeaways
Chief among them, the Menhal Glacier, a must-see for any first- timer.
This small cafe, Powmeni, came highly recommended. Russian dumplings stuffed with meat and topped with curry powder, rice vinegar, and chili.
I found walking around town a delight. Lots of stairm opportunities and little surprises everywhere.
We wanted unfettered mobility. Rentals were a bit more pricey, so this plan works best with larger groups of four to five people.
