Favorite Walks Contest

What are your 3 favorite city walks? Let us know. Enter to win a pair of Kuru shoes.

We (obviously) love to walk around a city, any city. We’ve made audio tours of some of our favorites – but these amount to a mere drop in the bucket of all the great walks in all the great cities in the world. So let’s hear about some more!

200604-chicane-brntsienna-rubr-small_02 Enter our “Favorite Walks” contest and you can win a pair of Kuru shoes. (If you don’t know Kuru, you should. They make super comfortable shoes that are great for walking and traveling.) All you need to do is send us an email listing your top 3 Favorite Walks – along with a little explanation. We’ll publish the highlights in an upcoming blog. And one lucky entrant will be chosen at random to win any pair of Kuru shoes. Let us know which Kuru shoe you’d pick, too.

There’s no catch. Just send us some ideas about your favorite walks. And, as a thanks, we’ll pick one lucky winner to pick any pair of Kuru shoes they like. So, what are you waiting for?

We’ll get the ball rolling here:

Exploring Central Park – OK, sure, we had to choose something in New York – but, honestly, I never grow tired of a walk in Central Park. An oasis of manmade nature nested in the heart of the urban jungle always brings with it a few surprises.
Hiking up to the Acropolis, Athens – Walking from the city streets up to the Acropolis is like a walk through time. A truly inspiring journey. Despite the volume of tourists, this walk and the Parthenon itself are very conducive to a deep, personal connection with the past.
As for the third, plop me down in the South of France – Arles or Aix en Provence or a little town like Carpentras – and I’ll be thrilled to explore the winding streets, happen upon a farmers market or age-old structure before stumbling upon a surprisingly delicious little café.
(Though, ask me tomorrow and I may have 3 different answers for you.)
