What I’m daydreaming most about right now is traveling to a warm destination on a sunny day. That’s because it’s cold and rainy out right now where I am. I want to escape that cold and be outside in the sun.
This whole daydream has got me thinking about my favorite cheap travel activity: walking.
I absolutely love walking around and seeing all that there is to see in a new destination. I think that getting lost on foot is probably the best way to get to know a new place.
It’s the way to see all of the things that there are to see when you travel. Unfortunately not all cities are good for traveling on foot. On the other hand, there are some cities that are ideal for it.
The top five cities that I would go walking in today if it were a sunny day and I could just hop on a plane and get there would be:
- New York City. Walking here isn’t necessarily easy. It’s crowded and there are a lot of people who are determinedly walking quickly who don’t want your meandering self to get in the way. Nevertheless, everyone walks here and it’s a terrific place for people-watching!
- San Francisco. This city has just as many things (and interesting people) to see on foot and yet it’s a lot easier to walk around here than it is in New York City. The pace is a bit slower and the sights are arguably more beautiful. It’s easy to walk here with the whole family.
- Paris. Ah, to be lost in the alleys of Paris right now … I wish …
- Buenos Aires. This is one city that has been on my list for a long time now. I haven’t made it there yet because I can never find cheap tickets to get there (or else timing hasn’t worked out for me). I’ve heard it’s a great walking city though. And since it’s summer there it would be terrific if I could go right now!
- Mexico City. Some people would argue with me that this isn’t a top five city for walking. Most people would’ve put London on the list instead. However I’ve walked here and loved it so I had to include it!
