Out and about on foot

These cities are perfect for a walkation!

When you want to take a short trip, there’s nothing better than a city break. You’ll discover loads of new experiences, sights, flavours and aromas right on the hotel doorstep – not to mention the many attractions that are just waiting to be explored. Of course, it’s much simpler when you can experience the city without having to first take a long journey on public transport or by car. After all, no one wants to spend their holiday stuck in traffic.

 

 

And as the saying goes, the journey is the reward! That’s why we set off on a search for the European cities that are best discovered on foot.
