11. Lucca, Italy
This traditional Tuscan town has a 16th century wall encompassing its historical center, which enables you to walk above the city and admire it from a height. Down below, cobblestone streets and lively piazzas lead to landmarks like the Torre delle Ore, the San Frediano Church and the Cathedral of San Martino, with medieval architecture to admired along the way.
12. Budapest, Hungary
Budapest is actually two separate cities, each with a distinctly historical (Buda) or more contemporary (Pest) feel. Since the sides are linked by eight picturesque bridges crossing (and offering lovely views of) the Danube, it’s easy to amble around soaking up everything that this charming destination has to offer. Rich in architecture and with the added benefit of an elaborate bath house culture to ease the aches of your exertions, it’s a wonderful place to explore on foot.
