Downtown is a great neighborhood for those who enjoy indoor activities. Even though the atmosphere is not the liveliest in this part of the city with its around 20 bars, it is very easy to find a place to grab a drink since they are generally located very close by. This area is a fairly good neighborhood for those who don't mind some noise, as during busy hours, traffic can occasionally be bothersome, although there are still several quieter pockets.
