Seasonal recommendations
In spring blooming greenery in the city center surrounds the building. Morning light highlights the details of the historic hospital. Layered clothing suitable for variable weather and visit in the early morning hours when the streets of the Old Town are the least people is recommended.
In summer, trees provide shade to access the monument. Due to high temperatures and more visitors, it is appropriate to plan a visit for the early morning. Light clothing and drinking water are recommended.
In the autumn light is suitable for photographing the facade of the building. Because of frequent rainfall, it is practical to carry an umbrella or a waterproof jacket. The place can be visited in the afternoon.
In winter, the historical building is moderate. Since the days are short, it is appropriate to come before darkness to see the exterior. Warm clothes are essential. In winter months, the time of opening is usually reduced.
