Many of us enjoy a city break, and the most seasoned travellers know that a successful trip is often down, in part, at least, to a destination being walkable.
Now Skyscanner has revealed the best up-and-coming cities for a break which aren’t the obvious choices – think Berlin or Dubrovnik.
Experts at the travel booking platform looked at flight data for destinations outside the United States which are walkable and easy to navigate.
A total of 14 factors for each city were evaluated, including the distances between the main attractions, the number of walking trails, average elevation, air quality and safety.
The result is a walkability index, which focuses on the walking distance between a place’s main attractions and the total steps and time taken to do it. The index also examines population density as well as the number of trails to explore in and around each city, and the amount of attractions in each place.
