City Walking
With each one boasting a unique history, architecture, art scene, cultural venues, and shopping opportunities, cities have something for everyone - and with Outdooractive, you can discover and explore the best sights, events, and downtown areas out there. You may even find a few surprises along the way. Unlike traditional hiking, the best thing about exploring a city on foot is that you don't need to take much with you, as a choice of restaurants, bars, cafes, and stores means you can always grab a bite to eat, enjoy a drink, or caffeinate yourself at your leisure.

Explore the most beautiful cities on your own
Sightseeing to suit you
Even if you've never been on a guided tour in a city, chances are you've certainly seen them. They most often entail trailing around behind someone for hours or riding in an open-top bus with a running commentary, and while many find them a convenient way to get to know a city, they're certainly not for everyone.
Fortunately, with Outdooractive, it doesn't always have to be like this, as exploring on your own has never been easier. You can go sightseeing at your own pace and pick what you want to experience based on your interests. That being said, it is still possible to accidentally miss out on some sights without that bit of extra guidance. This is why City Walks from Outdooractive are on hand to guide you with routes and maps you can navigate and follow, and the various points of interest laid out for you on your device.
Experience history and culture up close
Sights around the globe
Every city is different – and each will have its own history and sights. Some settings might be modern, others ancient, but with Outdooractive, you can tailor your preferences to suit your interests and what the city might be particularly well known for. Want to focus on museums, galleries, theaters, and architecture? No problem. How about restaurants, bars, clubs and shopping? Sure thing.
Not only can you find city walks on Outdooractive, but you can also search for specific points of interest in a region. Combine this with building your own route in the Route Planner and you're bound to get the best out of your trip. Just don't forget to share your experiences with other Community members afterward!
Exploring with Ourdooractive
Things you might want to take
While you don't really need a lot of gear, exploring a city is a lot more comfortable if you have at least the basics with you. Things we would recommend include...
- A lightweight daypack (approx. 15 liters) with a rain cover
- Comfortable shoes (definitely a must!)
- Clothes suitable for the weather
- Sun and rain protection
- A bottle of water
- Your device
- A camera (unless you're just taking phone snaps)
Obviously this all varies depending on where you are and how long you plan to be out.
