]]>Seville, Spain
Many consider Seville the most walkable city in the whole of Europe. Thanks to its flat terrain and congestion of amazing sights in a small area, you can easily cover all the must-see spots without even taking a tram. This is especially the case with its Old Town, where you’ll enjoy getting lost in intertwining streets and most top tourist attractions are less than 20 minutes from each other.
Florence, Italy
Florence has the feel of an open-air museum. Everywhere you look, there is some important historical landmark or a work of art. On top of that, you are able to casually walk from one to another “item” in its massive collection. It helps that the city’s historic center, where most popular attractions are situated, is quite compact and can be walked through in less than an hour at a casual pace.
Bruges, Belgium
Exploring Bruges by foot should be mandatory for all visitors. It is a small city known for its narrow streets and stunning architecture that deserves to be properly appreciated. Even if you just pick out a direction and stick to it, you’ll discover beautiful medieval buildings, charming little parks, and intriguing landmarks on every step.

]]>Do Visit Twice
If you have the time and the opportunity, visit the Eiffel Tower twice, once during the day and once during the night. During the day, you’ll be able to marvel at its beauty and take great photos, while during the night, you can get on its viewing platform and watch Paris bathed in colorful light.
Don’t Use the Elevator

Do Book Tickets in Advance
Almost all people visiting Paris want to see the Eiffel Tower. This leads to large crowds, and standing in line for several hours will take a lot from the experience. Instead, book your tickets in advance and reserve a time slot. This will allow you to skip the line and be full of energy and excitement when you start the visit.
Don’t Miss Out on Gustave Eiffel’s Secret Apartment
A lot of people miss out on a secret apartment inside the Eiffel Tower that its designer, Gustave Eiffel, used as a workstation.
