English Garden in Munich
Munich in Germany, Kyoto in Japan and Bordeaux in France have been
named some of the most beautiful, pedestrian-friendly tourism
destinations in a new list compiled by Booking.com.
For the selection, the online reservation site teased out trends from
the reviews of their 26 million travelers, who praised the walkable
neighborhoods of cities with ample green spaces, quaint and charming
streets, and village-like feel.
Here are the selections:
Munich
The biggest pedestrian-friendly feature going for Munich is its
English Garden, a sprawling park in the center of the city that’s among
the biggest in Europe, with its own lake, beer garden and Japanese tea
salon.
Kyoto
Headed to Kyoto? Visitors recommend planning extra stroll time around
the temple Kiyomizu-dera, where ancient sanctuaries and food stalls
create a dynamic, animated street scene.

Helsinki
One of the best ways to take in the minimalist beauty of Scandinavian
design is to stroll through the streets of Helsinki, a tribute to
Finnish heritage.
Bordeaux
Along with the city’s neoclassic architecture and majestic Pont de
Pierre bridge, Bordeaux boasts the largest reflecting pool in the world
at Place de la Bourse, the Water Mirror.
Florence
With its ancient cobblestone streets and narrow alleyways, off-limits
to mobility of the motorized kind, the Italian city invites visitors to
amble slowly and enjoy its distinctly Florentine beauty. A particular
favorite is Ponte Vecchio, the only bridge that was spared during the
German occupation of World War II.
Others on the list are New York (US), Perth (Australia), San Francisco (US), Vancouver (Canada) and Montevideo in Uruguay.
