Send a Postcard at the Central Post Office

Many people, ourselves included, are under the impression that the Central Post Office was designed by Gustave Eiffel, but it turns out it was only based on an Eiffel design. With its old fashioned telephone booths and soaring ceiling, this is a stunning building. If you do plan to send some mail, be prepared that there are no orderly lines. Pretend you’re at a busy nightclub bar and get ready to assert your position at the counter. If you don’t… you could be there all day!
