So chilled, in fact, that it almost doesn't feel like a city. Home to just over 850,000 people, from a wide range of cultural backgrounds + nationalities, the place feels more like a metropolitan village.
There's no other city quite like it. Even its shape is unique - the historic canal belt fans out from the centre in a series of concentric semi-circles, hiding a maze of picturesque waterways + narrow alleys.
Venture outside of the centre, though, and you'll discover up-and-coming neighbourhoods with more edge than you'd expect.
