Exactly. And seeing a city on foot is a terrific way to discover places you otherwise may have missed. Going for a walk in the park is one of my favorites as well – especially if it’s lively, like Central Park or the parks by Lake Zurich in the summer.

Walking is also traveling so absolutely walking is the cheapest way to travel… but of course we are not thanking of million miles here. We don’t have much time traveling the globe so most of the time we find ourselves in the city walking in the park or in the mall. Traveling can be simple but also enjoyable. I used to say to my kinds what matter is that we find time to bond and enjoy life.

If so I’m looking forward to finally visit! Everyone has their own preferences so I can bet there are others who wonder why their favorite cities weren’t included.

Really surprising that Vegas didn’t make the list. You can walk and sightsee tons of stuff while you’re there.

Thanks for these suggestions. I can see you know your Seattle. Looking forward to walk around the city myself eventually. And the library does seem cool. Only seen pictures so far. Love the architecture!

I agree that Seattle is a great city for walking and the Pike Street Market area is fun, but Green Lake, the Burke Gilman Trail and the University of Washington and the U District and around Lake Union are much better walking venues than Pioneer Square. Another fun “walk” is inside the incredible city library, where you can literally walk the stacks. It is a very cool destination!

I agree. They’re beautiful in their own way.

all those are beautiful cities! Being one of the most popular world visited sites of the world, New York is the great city for walking. .-= The Travelers Zone´s last blog ..Visiting The Ancient Party Town Of Munich =-.

@Sebastian, I get what you mean. But in a way I like that bitter coldness. Feels so much better to come home and curl up in the sofa with a blanket and hot chocolate (or tea) after you’ve been out in the cold. The summer is better, though. Without a doubt.

Chicago does look beautiful in winter, and in good winter days it is great to walk. But the problem is that the surrounding area is very flat and it is next to a huge (and beautiful) lake, so it gets very very windy. If you combine the cold with the strong winds (and humidity from the lake), it makes it feel bitterly cold, difficult for walking. But I guess, being from Sweeden, you have seen worse conditions. The summers in the city however, are glorious, specially with all of the festivals in the parks. And I did not see that movie yet.

@Sebastian, I can imagine the summers in Chicago are great for walking, but I wouldn’t say no to a long walk during the winter either. That’s what warm clothes are for. Have you seen The Weather Man with Nicholas Cage by the way? I just love that movie partly because of how beautiful Chicago looks in the winter. At least in that movie.
