    Beautiful place next to the lake. On sunny day provides peaceful and beautiful scenery. Great for walking along the lake side.
  • By Anna Frasunek
    This place is amazing especially if you are a big fan of Freddie or Queen in general. There are many things that I didn't know about and never seen before. I totally recommend it even if you're not interested in this group, but want to see amazing instruments. Totally worth my time ❤️
