If there is one thing that we have to recommend that you always remember to do every time you travel: no matter the time of the year, the destination, the budget, or the number of times you’ve been to the city: it’s walking. Here’s why.
It’s Free
One of the most common challenges of traveling is how expensive it is. And even if you’re not pinching pennies, chances are you wouldn’t mind saving some money abroad, right? That’s why walking is such a great activity. You get so much out of it and it’s 100% completely free.
It’s Good for You
Another common concern for travelers is how all of that eating can do a number on your health – and waistline. But if you want to offset some of those delicious, foreign calories, there’s a great way to do it while also meeting your other needs like transportation and entertainment: walking.
It’s Eye-Opening
We spend so much time on vacation thinking about what to do and where to go and what to see, but the truth is that simply walking around is the best way to get to know a city. An unplanned walk helps you stumble upon things you’d never see otherwise, get a real taste of local culture, and truly see the city in a way that can’t be done otherwise.
