Excellent vocabulary is used throughout the response. Words like 'metropolis,' 'boasts,' and 'magnificent' demonstrate a wide range and precision in vocabulary choice. The slightly awkward phrasing about 'timeless masks' doesn't detract significantly from the overall lexical resource demonstrated.

Grammar is mostly accurate and sophisticated. The sentence beginning with 'Additionally' is slightly complex but well-constructed. The phrase 'It is also a natural destination for naturalism' is slightly unusual and could be rephrased for better clarity and grammatical precision. For example, 'It also offers stunning natural landscapes' or 'It is also known for its beautiful lakes and natural surroundings'.
