The only one I've been to was Washington DC. And that was in the January 1993 before Bush 41 left left office.
Florence, Italy
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Paris, France
Boston, Massachusetts
Edinburgh, Scotland
Zurich, Switzerland
Porto, Portugal
Washington, DC
San Francisco, California
Tallinn, Estonia
Sydney, Australia
Amsterdam, Netherlands
How could Venice not be on that list?
And some of these are beautiful but not that easy to just walk around.
Zurich, Switzerland? Why not Zermatt, Switzerland?
No city is walkable minus public safety.
Disagree with several. DC. Paris. San Fran.Tallin. Sydney... Especially DC and San Fran.
Replace with... Prague. Vienna. Marseilles. Venice, Chania
These cities are no longer beautiful and walkable and these lists with their now lost cities are no longer likeable.
The Washington Mall is magnificent. On a cool spring day during cherry blossom time it is a wonder to be seen. Depending on in which direction one goes from the mall, less than a mile it can be a hell hole of crime and danger.
I’ve been to Paris, Boston, Washington D.C, and San Francisco.
All beautiful, Paris probably the most gorgeous.
But today you can’t walk around these cities because stores are closing and a bunch of addicts live on the streets.
My world-traveling daughter was in Australia last year and thought Melbourne, not Sydney, was the most beautiful city she’d ever seen.
Paris and Frisco are both $**tholes.
Not a serious list without Rome.
I’ve been to 8 of those, but my comment is that the list has to be a joke because San Francisco these days isn’t walkable for three reasons. It’s nasty, it isn’t safe, and it’s steep. The last one has always been true, the first two have developed since my last (in both senses) visit.
Paris and Amsterdam in 1973 for me, plus San Francisco a few times in the 70s and 80s.
Portland, OR used to be a great city to walk in, probably not now.
Edinburgh is great.
>> San Francisco, California
...*used* to be walkable. Attended a trade show in SF every year for about 20 years; Mrs. Tick and I would often take BART or CalTrain from the airport to the city and not even rent a car.
Have no desire to go back there, now that it’s a progressive hellhole. It always was progressive, but formerly not a hellhole.
“San Francisco”
Many of the streets are steeply sloped and are hard to walk.
It has beautiful parts - St. Johns Woods, Pacific Heights.
“Washington DC”
Many of the suburban areas are beautiful around the last week of April and the first 10 days of May when the azaleas are in bloom.
Early April is a good time to walk around Capitol Hill and Georgetown.
For a somewhat shorter period, Providence, RI has beautiful crab apple(?) trees. Unlike DC cherry trees, the trees stay beautiful for about a week.
Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC are very nice cities to walk in.
As a place to live, the Boston area is great if you earn big money and don’t mind cold and wet. Salem is well worth a visit. My sister-in-law liked Marblehead, but I’ve never been there.
Old Town Alexandria, VA is well-worth a visit.
DC, Frisco, Boston, Paris? Only in the daylight.
Google Maps/Streetview is a good way to see if a place is worth your time and money.
Santa Fe, NM.
