Dinner was lovely, we had a window seat with a wonderful view. Drinks aren’t included and are reasonably priced. Concert was good. Excellent pianist and lead violinist. Lovely ensemble. Very hot in the hall though and ended up moving to be more comfortable, as did a few others. Cable car back down and then make your own way back to your accommodation. Not a long walk for us as we were in the Old Town. A good combination…”
