What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Euro Sign is appreciated as a cool, creative representation of European currency and unity. However, its appeal is diminished by reports of broken lights and a surrounding area that some find dirty or sketchy, impacting the overall experience.
"They need to fix the monument. All the lights do not work, also it’s close to a very sketchy district of the city so you sometimes feel unsafe in this area too. It’s a cool sign, but its broken lights and surrounding area make it kinda crappy. If they clean up the park, fix the sign and figure out how to help the people around the area then it would be much better"

"The garden and the symbol were nice to see, but the place didn’t meet expectations, was a bit dirty, and not very comfortable."
