Most walkable cities for a short break?

[RedDoughnut]

Where could I avoid using public transport and just explore by foot?

Granada
Chicago
Vienna
Copenhagen

Rome surprisingly so
Copenhagen
Amsterdam

Bilbao
Charleston
New Orleans

Porto
Lisbon - although the trams are fun.

Central London is very walkable. Spring is a good time to visit - but obviously avoid Coronation weekend this year.

Seville is very walkable but I love an open top tour bus as I can sit back and learn about the city and then decide which parts I want to see the most

Just back from 5 days in Malaga. Lovely city and very walkable.

Berlin was a great city to see a lot on foot if you’ve not been. Edinburgh is another one as a few have already mentioned. We did Barcelona in Dec and didn’t use transport once except to/from the airport. I also have a soft spot for Geneva (expensive) but lovely!!

Gent. 30 minutes from Brussels by fast train, 12 minutes by tram from station to downtown. Crawling with Gothic churches, merchants' houses, towers and turrets, squares, rivers, you name it. When I first saw it I thought it was like a committee had been asked to design a picturesque city and they overdid it a bit.

Another vote for Rome. We did it on a day trip on a cruise. We didn't see everything, but saw loads without the need for any public transport.

Our step count for the day was around 30,000 I think. Was very glad of a rest day the next day!

Malaga
Edinburgh
NOT San Francisco 🎢

Bit further afield but Washington DC is incredibly walkable. Everything was so much closer than we expected. The open top bus tour was fantastic. We went in January and as the weather was so mild we walked so much.

Bologna, Vienna, Zurich

Antwerp
Krakow
Amsterdam
Anywhere that was a medieval city will have a walkable size historic centre.

In the UK, Glasgow Chester Bath Bristol

Nobody mentioned Munich...

Good train connections from airport, city centre is very walkable and car free!

Rome.

My indestructible toddler walked up all of the steps to the Sacromonte Caves Museum. We definitely struggled though 😅

York
Amsterdam
Brugge

Alicante city is beautiful, so much to see and very Spanish, English isn’t widely spoken.

Verona

Valetta
The Hague
Chester, UK.

Seville. The whole place smells of oranges, it's so chill.

Definitely Rome. Walking is the only option for many bits. There is so much to see. Every road, building, shop , high up and looking down has something thousands of years old to look at. It’s amazing.

Bruges or Ghent
Rome
Malaga
Paris is definitely ok on foot with a good central hotel. DH and I did 25k steps a day and enjoyed every step.

Brugge
Seville
Barcelona
Nuremberg
Prague
