On this free walking tour we visit one of the most high-end neighborhoods in the city. Hear stories of mansions, who lives where, who built what and why? And what exactly happened to the original residents who disappeared? Then head to the former leper house with its history full of (some spooky) stories and its present use as a house for artists and designers.
