Kunsthal is primarily a contemporary art space which features a picturesque, cozy cafe. There are two floors full of exhibitions here, and after a satisfying browse why not head downstairs for a sweet treat.

Art magazines are found everywhere here, so you can flick through a few pages whilst enjoying a light and delicious bite.
