The 6 best European cities for walking, there is Trieste

From the evocative Berlin to James Joyce's Trieste, passing through the markets of Marseille, up to Copenhagen, Seville and Lisbon: only the six best European cities for those who love to walk, chosen by the Guardian for this special ranking. 

In the German capital, in addition to the traditional routes of the historic center, from the Brandenburg Gate to the Reichstag with its glass dome, or Alexander Platz, which still retains echoes of the old East Germany, the British newspaper reports alternative routes starting for example from the Hansa neighborhood, where architects such as Alvar Aalto, Walter Gropius, Arne Jacobsen and Oscar Niemeyer designed modernist residential buildings on a site destroyed in World War II.

 In Trieste the first thought goes to Joyce, who "while imagining the Dublin paths of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus for his Ulysses, wandered" around the Julian capital. Piazza Unità d'Italia, overlooking the sea, "is a natural place to start a zigzag walk", while from the center you can go up to Villa Opicina with a view of the Gulf of Trieste. "If you have the energy to walk further, continue along the wooded dirt path of the Napoleonic Road towards Prosecco", we still recommend.

The Guardian's ranking includes the "Moorish markets" of Marseille, the "delightful bars" of Lisbon that "fill up with the melancholy notes of live fado after sunset", the Norrebro district of Copenhagen "full of designer clothing shops and galleries, murals and craft beer outlets, the kind of superficial and funny things that Kierkegaard would have hated, "the paper writes, recalling the lonely Danish philosopher.

While in Seville it is a flourishing of "spiritual walks", with the path of the Holy Week procession.
