27. Santa Fe, New Mexico
Despite the sprawl surrounding its charming adobe-style center, most of what makes Santa Fe as uniquely wonderful as it is stems from its artistic, artisanal – and very walkable – heart. Canyon Road is a must-do for those who want to browse the galleries and studios of the makers for whom the town acts as a siren song, while the Palace of the Governors and the St Francis of Assisi Cathedral are also within easy reach of the center.
28. Stockholm, Sweden
It’s spread across 14 different islands, which makes it sound somewhat tricky to navigate, but Stockholm is actually quite compact by modern city standards. Nosing around in its cobblestoned alleyways and exploring its lovely old town, Gamla stan, is an enjoyable must. Pick up some street food on your wanderings and soak up some of the creativity that makes this city one of Europe’s greatest design hubs. In summertime, the parks spring into activity, with live performances and festivals.
