The 10 most walkable cities in Europe

It’ll take around ten minutes and just half a mile of walking to get a look at Florence’s main attractions. The Ponte Vecchio, the city’s famous Duomo and the Uffizi gallery are basically within touching distance of each other.

It might be famous for its waterways, but Venice is a walker’s city too. Got 12 minutes? You could cop a look at landmarks like the Rialto Bridge, St Mark’s Square, the Bridge of Sighs and more. As long as you don’t get stuck behind any dawdling tour groups, that is. 

Walking just 1.5 miles will get you around Riga’s top attractions, like like Cathedral, the House of the Black Heads and the Central Market, where you can stock up on snacks to fuel your steps.

All of Athens’s most celebrated sights, like the Acropolis and the Parthenon, the Agora and the National Garden, can be ticked off with just 1.9 miles of walking.

You need just 40 minutes to stroll the two miles between Hamburg’s big-hitters, including Hamburg Dungeon and the Maritime Museum. 

The walking time between Edinburgh’s big five – the National Museum, Edinburgh Castle, National Gallery, Palace of Holyrood House and Holyrood Park – is just 44 minutes. Warning: those streets can get pretty hilly.

Forty-four minutes is also all you need to walk between Madrid’s biggies, like the Temple of Debod and El Retiro Park. 

Same goes for Portugal’s second city. You can hit up Porto’s biggest sights, like the Luís I Bridge, the Cathedral and more, in just under 45 minutes. 

There are just 2.3 miles between the likes of Tallinn’s Freedom Square, Viru Gate and Kadriorg Park.
