Guests' reviews
It's iconic and worth a visit! It is also near the 'beacon of hope', although that's not what the natives call it.... If you rub the fish, its brings you luck, so say the local river folk !
This fish has improved my life! It told me many wise things...
It's a quite big fish. Thats it. I recommend to visit this Fish in the evening.
We come here all the time with the kids. A really welcome space in the city by the river. There are a few other sculptures nearby, nice lounge style benches for a picnic. Great on a hot day. The sculpture itself is really worth getting up close to as it's made up of lots of tiles with loads of quirky historic details.
Classic here. If you don't have a photo of you at the big fish where have you been? And what have you been doing?
