Travelers love when they find themselves in a city that they can explore almost entirely on foot. In these cities, the infrastructure is designed to benefit pedestrians, the majority of tourist attractions are close to each other, and all the amenities are readily available. This eliminates the need for driving or the use of public transportation and allows for a more authentic experience. Europe arguably has more walkable cities than any other part of the world. Here are the ones you should definitely consider visiting.
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.
