When I heard that the International puppet festival was on late in September, I could not miss this great opportunity. Managed to rent a room close to the center of town and hoped on a train.....
Although it is a full week of events, I could only stay 4 days as I could not changed my airline ticket.
It was all worth it, the free shows in the street were of high standing and if you were lucky to purchase a ticket for your favourite international show ( from 11 to 18 euros) your mind would just get blown up by the quality and creativity, evolution of the puppet world.
