Many travelers rely on public transportation while exploring new places in an attempt to save time, but walking comes with a long list of benefits that may have never crossed your mind. Here’s what you’re missing out on when you’re not exploring new places on foot.

Physical Activity

Do you feel bad about skipping your workouts when you’re on the road? Well, no need to despair about all the missed hours at the gym because walking is a pretty great alternative. It allows you to stay active during your travels and burn some major calories.  

Discovering More

It’s always useful to have a list of places that you want to explore, but it’s likely you’ll stumble upon a bunch of interesting spots you weren’t planning to see during your walks.

Feeling Like a Local

Walking also allows you to really get to know the city you’re in and fully immerse yourself. You’ll discover everyday aspects of life while roaming the streets and get to see how locals truly live and spend their days.
