Alexander Palvad
The place is stunning – lush gardens, traditional statues, and massive koi fish in crystal-clear ponds. Feeding the fish was a fun (and surprisingly cheap) highlight!

The entrance fee is also twice the price of other...

There is also a museum if you interested to know the one who built the gar...

A new museum within the complex adds depth to the visit, showcasi...
