The rivers are lined with parks, gardens, and bike trails. River tours provide a great view of the city’s skyline. Within an hour’s drive there are many outdoor recreational opportunities with mountains, lakes, and whitewater rivers for hiking, biking, sailing, kayaking, boating, skiing, fishing, and hunting.
