Paris of the North so they say!
Its a cool place to hang out out - very cool (frikin freezin' in fact this time of year) but plenty of clubs, pubs , shops etc etc you wont get bored!
If you are driving about in the Zed - get familiar with the ring road it can be a bit of a dog to get used to especially when its getting darker earlier now!!
Tilly can probably help with more local knowledge.
