17. Paris, France
Covering a mere 65 square miles (more than 11 of which are wooded) it’s very easy to explore the City of Light on foot. Some areas are distinctly different from others – the streets of the Marais, for instance, are medievally narrow and complex, unlike the broad boulevards that surround many of Paris’ best known sights – while some arrondissements may enrapture you for longer than others, such as the streets around Montmartre, around which street artists throng. Either way, a wealth of cafes ensures that you always have options for resting and refuelling.
18. Marrakech, Morocco
The bustling pace and joyous assault on the senses that is the Medina is, without doubt, best experienced on foot, not least because its labyrinthine passages are not in the slightest bit suited to just about anything else! Take your time over every sensory experience, engage with the colorful locals and smell, touch and taste the vast array of goods and products on display. Nearby, the Jemaa el-Fna is more like an open air theater than a city square, buzzing with life and performance. Even outside of the medina, the city is easy to get around and thrilling to explore, with elaborate gardens and bathhouses to be discovered.
