Very bad service, this city hall's opening times are when most normal people are working. The only extended time is on Thursday leading to a messy and crowded situation on Thursday evening. While they waste all the money on creating a city hall made out of marble and all kinds of expensive materials, the city itself is bankrupt and the service they deliver is very poor.

The canteen is ONLY for staff, so if you are hungry or thirsty , you won't be able to get any food there.
Parking is miserable, you have to pay money for a spot for something you already pay taxes(same as the nearby hospital).

Be sure to bring your own pillow because the wooden benches are hard and the harsh waiting times will ensure a painful bottom.

The only light of hope is the information desk, the people there really seem to do their best to inform you in the best way possible. But the ugly and poor maintained statue in the water and its surroundings really make this place a location you will hate and hate waiting in.
