How to use the directory

Three ways in

  1. Search or browse

    Type a city or country into the search box, or start from the destinations index and work down from country to city.

  2. Read the walking essentials

    Each city guide tells you where the best walking is, how hilly it gets, what the pavements are like, and which seasons suit long days outside.

  3. Walk alone or with a guide

    Follow one of our free self-guided walks with a map and numbered stops, or pick a guided walk, chosen for genuine walking content and strong traveller reviews.

How we choose guided walks

This site is a guide first. Each city lists a handful of guided walking tours rated 4.5 stars or more by travellers, leaving out bus, bike and museum-only tours. Tour links go to our booking partner Viator and are clearly marked; if you book, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. More about how the site works.
