A big part of traveling for me is walking. I really enjoy discovering a new city by foot, frequently covering 15 miles a day or more.
So I'm looking for new ideas for places that are great to explore walking. Obviously having visually and culturally interesting neighborhoods is important. Some of the criteria would be either compact enough to be explored by foot over a couple of weeks, or with good public transit to get to the interesting areas. Places with a lot of foot traffic are ideal, so not too much time is spent navigating around highways.
Examples that have worked well for me include Istanbul, London, Prague, Berlin, Rome, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Brisbane, Sydney, San Francisco and Chicago. I don't have much experience in South America or Asia, which is something I'd like to change.
So I'm looking for others. Dubrovnik, Cordoba, and Porto are on my list. I tend to like to stay in an area for a few weeks, making day trips to surrounding areas.
