7. Galle, Sri Lanka
For such a small town, Galle really packs a punch, with gorgeous colonial architecture alongside a scenic coastline. In the context of its Sri Lankan setting – a country often characterized by bustle and pace – Galle is remarkable for its leafy streets, lack of traffic, explorable-on-foot ramparts and Buddhist temples within a whistle of Catholic churches. Small wonder it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one that’s definitely worth a comfortably-shod visit.
8. Kyoto, Japan
It’s not only quite flat, but many of its most popular attractions are to be found within the Higashiyama district, making pedestrian explorations entirely feasible. If you need a challenge and some from-a-height views, head for the hiking paths that trail through the surrounding mountains, which in themselves have limited the city’s ability to sprawl beyond a walkable size.
