If you want to give human culture a break, the zoological garden makes a terrific contrast. About 900 species are kept in reasonably naturalistic surroundings, including a recently created African landscape. Watch the Japanese monkeys grooming one another, the reptiles slithering in their steamy jungle, or the polar bears lazing with menacing unconcern. There are plenty of places where you can shelter from the rain, including the Planetarium, Geological and Zoological museums, and the Aquarium, home to more than 2,000 mesmerizing fish.
