San Francisco Marina

One of the best ways to explore a new city is to simply get out there and walk around. A simple stroll can often lead to the most memorable experiences of a trip, so here are some of the top cities worth taking a walk in your shoes, in someone else’s neighborhood…

San Francisco – While some of the immense hills can be a bit daunting for novice walkers, the city is surprisingly walkable and many of the most loved neighborhoods run one into the other making it easy to see and do a lot on foot.

Washington DC – Easy public transit and access to shopping, historical sites and more without pedestrian pileups on the sidewalks make Washington DC a great place to walk around.

Boston – History meets accessibility in this fun, upbeat destination filled with youthful energy and traditions, making it a great destination for walkers.

Seattle - A good blend of all that makes cities great - dining, bars, shops, galleries, etc. - Seattle’s cool weather makes a long walk easy and enjoyable.

Chicago – This sprawling city has become a great place for walking as many neighborhoods worth a stroll are connected through public transit. From shopping on Michigan Avenue to quaint Hyde Park, there’s plenty areas to tour and to rest your tired soles afterwards.

New York City – Thought your walk may be interrupted by the push of locals trying to get through cramped sidewalks, New York has innumerable neighborhoods worth exploring in practically every borough. Just make sure you not only watch for pushy pedestrians but crazy cabs as well.

From @MelanieFineEVI - Toronto - Another great city to take a walk suggested by one of our Twitter followers.  @MelanieFineEVI suggests walking around Kensington Market, Chinatown, the Waterfront and beaches,  St. Lawrence Market and Front Street.
