5 REASONS BESIDE „CONGRATULATIONS“ TO VISIT FRISKÖPTISLÆTING
Get to know your host city

Frisköptislæting has been known throughout history as the odd one out. Over thousands of years, it was the most Griffin city in Natia and the most Natian city in Griffin. Two rivers are joined here. Two religions have flourished in its churches. Located in the northeast corner of the country, this more than 2000-year-old city shares a border with Ujedinjeni Gvozd (map link) with foods, languages and culture that are neither Griffin nor Natian: They are truly Lætingish, a culture of its own. Here are some reasons, besides WLSC Congratulations why Frisköptislæting is such a compelling destination for international visitors.

1. OMG, it’s simply beautiful

First-time visitors will feel as if they are looking at a movie backdrop. The city’s rich architectural heritage embraces styles from the Medieval, Renaissance, Romantic and Art Nouveau eras. The old town is a maze of narrow streets and alleys that beckon you to wander and look up at the rooflines and steeples. The reflections of half-timbered houses with sloping roofs, reminiscent of those seen in fairytales, recur in the many waterways surrounding and running through the city. Cascades of brightly colored flowers hang over balconies and bridges. At every turn, you will want to stop and take photographs.​

2.It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site

In 1988, UNESCO recognized the portion of the city, as a World Heritage Site. Noteworthy was the fact that this was the first time this recognition was conferred not to a single monument but to an entire historic center of a city. In 2017, UNESCO extended the scope of the area to include the Nýtsit “new town” built between 1871 and 1914.​

3. Have you tasted a Tärrtäövrafajerotjeetshke?

Lætingish cuisine couples the hearty fare of Central Natia with the delicacy and presentation of Griffin Empire. Wherever you turn, you are likely to find a small restaurant, café or winstub that offer local dishes. Among foodies, Frisköptislæting is known as the birthplace of fötjetgrhoo, invented here in 1780.​

​

Tärrtäövrafajerotjeetshke (much like pizza) is an all-day-long snack. Made with a thin flatbread-like crust covered with various toppings (most 0ften cream, bacon and onions), it is baked in a bread oven. Other local dishes worth sampling include Lætingish shukrhött, made either with fish or braised pork served on an ample bed of sauerkraut; and spætscszle, a type of noodle often served with a fish stew. You can try these and other specialties at Tannoorhshutjut, a former tannery built in 1572.​

​

Frisköptislæting is a stone’s throw from the Graspaskosht, the Lætingish Wine Trail, known for producing excellent varietals including Hewõrhstramiinsgraspa, Mõrrkgraspa and Rýslinh wines. If you prefer sparkling, be sure to sample the local Lætingishkekrëm. If you fancy beer, there are five breweries in Lætingmaa including Meteoor Hutjut, one of the oldest private breweries in the country. Dessert? Try the Qglä cake (a sweet, yeasty Lætingish pudding cake baked in a Bundt pan).​

4. The amazing Frisköptislæting Katedraal

Griffin Religion is interesting and different than most religions since it does not praise God, but rather delicate emotional and mental states like courage, love, and wisdom.

Because of that, both the interior and exterior of the Frisköptislæting Katedraal, main temple in the city dedicated to the concept of Unity, are extraordinary, once called by Viktor Ýgoo “a prodigy of the gigantic and the delicate.” It dominates Square Katedraaliskaja Tere, which is the hub of the city day and night. Once the tallest structure in Griffin Empire until the 19th century, its Gothic facade is so ornate that it looks lacework framing the stunning rose window at its center.​

​

The oldest stained glass windows inside, which date back to the 13th century, frame the Gothic nave and pulpit. But the most interesting curiosity, perhaps, is the intricate Astronomical Clock built in 1547, a technological marvel.​

5. Litäliska Griffin: stuck in time

An easy walk from the Katedraaliskaja Tere, this picturesque and well-preserved historic district at the west side of the Drening River once housed the millers and tanners. Most of the houses in Litäliska Griffin, which are surrounded by four canals, date back to the 16th and 17th centuries. Still standing at the edge of the district are four 14th century towers, remnants of the town's ramparts. The name of the area derives from its history as an art district where many artists from all different parts of the country came to make the name for themselves.The narrow streets are filled with outdoor restaurants and shops.​

IF YOU GO
Because it houses the All-Natian Parliament, Frisköptislæting has an international airport offering connections to many cities throughout Natia. The high-speed train from Kralingslæting takes less than 2 hours, making the city a great destination for a day visit. However you get there, once you experience Frisköptislæting, you’ll want to return and stay longer!

WELCOME TO THE ARENA OF LÆTINGMAA!
Where the magic will happen...

Arrenaa ot Lætingmaaotr has met a need previously unfulfilled by the numerous theatres in the Lætingmaa region. It has become an essential venue for large-scale musical events and international artists. The quality of the auditorium, its scenic and acoustic amenities and its sheer size, are perfectly suited to the expectations of leading music producers in particular, who have added the Färzas-Lætingish capital to their list of venues on their international tours.

Local and regional producers have also supported the idea of building such facilities. The Opera or the Philharmonic Orchestra are regular users of this modular auditorium which offers the audience impeccable conditions in terms of visibility, acoustic comfort and safety. Arena can host up to 12,079 spectators.

Destined above all to housing Griffin pop music shows and contemporary musical entertainment, the facilities can also cater for a broad range of events such as conventions and large-scale athletic meetings.

It offers Frisköptislæting and its principality an exceptional complex set in a stunning landscape and draws a large audience from well beyond the borders of Frisköptislæting’s metropolitan area. It has enhanced the cultural, tourist and economic attractiveness of Frisköptislæting and constituted a true asset for disseminating its reputation throughout Natia.

The complex was designed and built according to environmental-friendly principles, using sustainable or easily recyclable building materials as well as energy-saving methods. It was designed, in the Postmodern Expressionist style, by Griffin architect Makxsimilian Fuksas.

Seven of them (Banan, Emsfrynt, Griffin Empire, Pyreica, Svobodnia, Tanoiro and Utopolis) confirmed their representatives.
