This is explained by the fact that the most popular tourist attractions in the historic city center are located at a short distance from each other. The city has clean streets, good air quality and a high level of safety.
Florence (Italy) was recognized as the most pedestrian-friendly city, with Riga in second place, Hamburg (Germany) in third, Porto (Portugal) in fourth, and Madrid (Spain) in fifth.
Ease and convenience of visiting a landmark, a clean environment and safety on the streets are very important factors that attract tourists, as well as contribute to business development and economic growth. The authors of the study acknowledge that Riga has a wide and accessible public transport network, but the main attractions can be seen by walking comfortably, and traveling between them takes only 30 minutes. In addition, being on the streets is safe for pedestrians, as the city has a high level of safety and good air quality.
To determine the world’s 30 most walkable cities, the study used data from a variety of sources and apps used by travelers themselves, such as Tourlane and Walkscore. It also analyzed IQAir air quality data and the Numbeo safety index.
