Best cities to discover on foot revealed
When it comes to travelling and exploring new places, there is no better way to experience everything a new city has to offer than just by walking around.
By keeping on your feet rather than using public transport, you get the chance to explore more hidden corners of your destination and truly soak up the new culture, all while getting your steps in.
That being said, there are definitely some cities that are easier to traverse on foot than others.
But now, one company has put in the hard work to determine the 100 best cities around the world for travellers who want to walk their way to new experiences.
GuruWalk, a company that offers free walking tours worldwide, has compiled the list based on booking and search data for 800 cities across 120 countries.
In terms of countries as a whole, Spain topped the list with 28 cities appearing in the top 100, while Rome, Italy took out the top spot for most walkable city.
Rome’s walkability is largely due to the location of the tourist hotspots, with the world-class attractions all located close to each other.
GuruWalk comments, “The sheer number of monuments it hosts sometimes causes tourists to not even know where to start.”
“So it’s not surprising that Rome hosts more guided tours than any other place.”
Check out the entire top ten list below.
