The Best U.S. Cities To Walk In

A couple months ago I took a bus tour with family through the city of Denver, Colorado since I was new in town.  We did walk around Denver some, so when I saw this list for tourists of the best cities in the United States to walk in, I wanted to blog about it.

USA TODAY comes out with this list each year and for the third year in a row The City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia was voted number one.  They mentioned Center City and, "Historic Old City and Rittenhouse Square." Fortunately, they did not mention any Philadelphia sports teams. 😁

2. Providence, Rhode Island is a place I have heard is very nice to walk around. They have cobblestone streets, the Providence River, and a lot of murals.(Like Denver)

3. Burlington, Vermont is a place I haven't heard much about, but they have an outdoor mall with a hundred shops and it's always very busy. (Except the heart of winter I would guess)

4. Columbus, Ohio is a well known place, but I haven't heard of it as a tourist destination. Ohio State University is downtown and a lot of things to see and do in the area.

5. Boston, Massachusetts is another well-known place full of history going back to the American Revolution.  It is home to Fenway Park, Paul Revere's house and Harvard University which is a pretty impressive combination.

6. San Francisco, California is an incredible place even with the hills. There are a lot of parks, the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz, and Oracle Park.(Home of the baseball Giants) I was there a long time ago, but our ferry ride under the Golden Gate was unforgettable.

7. Chicago, Illinois is not the place to visit in the winter I've been told. The food is incredible and there is a lot to see in the downtown area.

8. Savannah, Georgia is a place I have dropped people off at a few times, but not in the tourist area. It is compared a lot to Charleston, South Carolina where I have driven in a lot.  It's known for great food and it's charm and vibe and relaxing atmosphere.

9.  Washington D.C. is a place that would be tough to leave off this list.  You can tour the monuments and historical places on a regular basis and not get bored.  My favorite place is the Lincoln Memorial, but this is obviously a huge tourist destination.  Below is my favorite picture from behind the Lincoln Memorial when I visited my brother three or four years ago.

10.  New York City, New York is another place that is impossible to really compete with.  The food is legendary here, the iconic places are too many to mention, and it's a place you have to visit at least once in your life, especially if you've never been on the east coast.
