10 Most Walkable Cities in World? [SLIDESHOW]

Edinburgh, Scotland

“Steeped in history but still possessing a cutting-edge contemporary feel, Edinburgh is compact enough to discover on foot. Its heart may be in the medieval Old Town, but it’s worth venturing to the Georgian New Town to see its modern architecture.”

Melbourne, Australia

“From the city to the parklands and the bayside to the leafy suburbs, Melbourne combines exercise with cultural or culinary pursuits.”

Sydney, Australia

“With great weather for most of the year, you could easily cover inner Sydney on foot most of the time and then rely on public transportation for the hard bits (like crossing over from the Eastern Suburbs to the North Shore).”

For more information on where to walk in these cities, visit the Frommer’s slideshow.

Of course, there isn’t a science to identifying the most walkable cities in the world, or if there is, Frommer’s didn’t use it. Nonetheless, lists are always fun! :D
