I read a “study” that compared European cities by walkability
The least walkable cities were Oslo, Marseille, Hamburg, Lisbon, Birmingham, Turin, Bordeaux, Prague, and Toulouse
That’s a very strange set of cities to place in your top ten, esp Oslo and Lisbon.
Well, the study looked at walking only to the top five attractions in the city proper, rather than just the city centre…
So for Oslo this included Vigeland Park, which is nearly an hour on foot from the city centre (but ~20 min by train), for Hamburg this included the Port of Hamburg… Which… What? Why would you walk all that way??? That’s over an hour by foot!!! And for Birmingham included Cadbury World, which is 90+ min on foot from the city centre, but only 20 min by train?
So this is not “how walkable a city is”, but “how close it’s main tourist attractions are to each other if you forget that buses, trains, and trams exist”
