I recently visited the Museum of Miniature Books and I have to say, it was a delightful experience! The museum is located in the heart of the old city and is free to enter, making it a great stop for anyone looking for a unique and budget-friendly activity.

The museum's collection of miniature books is truly impressive. The books are incredibly small, yet each one is a work of art in its own right. What's more, the collection is divided into multiple sections, allowing visitors to explore different genres and styles of miniature books.

As a special treat, the museum even gave us one miniature book for free to keep as a souvenir. It was a lovely gesture that made the visit all the more memorable.

The books are fascinating to see and the museum's location in the old city adds to the charm of the experience.
