Those who step into the city often find that the city is a harmonious blend of the old and new with colonial style heritage buildings and monuments standing next to steel and glass buildings housing the offices of large multinational corporations. What impresses visitors most about the city is its unique cosmopolitan appeal that is visible in its markets, shopping plazas and commercial complexes.
