Water Play
Hot town, summer in the city: while away a sticky day in one of the capital’s many play fountains or splash pads.
It was a not-so-lovely THIRTY-SEVEN DEGREES on the day we visited, which is literally the same temperature as a living person’s insides.

Get out more this month with open-air theatre, water play at the museum, outdoor cinema and family street parties.
