Europe's most walkable city with 'stunning architecture' is a cheap autumn destination

Walking is the most reliable mode of transport, especially in cities where the main attractions can be found in clusters.

Europe is home to many destinations that are easily explored on foot but according to the experts at Preply, there's one that beats the likes of Edinburgh, London and Barcelona for its walkability.

Their research pinpointed urban havens where all major sights are just a short stroll away. In Britain, a particularly lovely city took the crown, but it was Seville, Spain's charming southern belle, that claimed the most walker-friendly spot on the continent.

A mere 20-minute amble in sunny Seville connects wanderers to the city's high spots, making it ideal for those wanting to skip the drive.

Beyond its reputation as the birthplace of tapas, Seville bursts with inviting festivals and must-see marvels - including the iconic Plaza de Espana. This jewel of Andalusian spirit, complete with a moat-fit-for-boating, dazzled TripAdvisor users.

One visitor who ventured to Seville earlier this month said: "Breathtaking place to visit. Very stunning architecture. It was my favourite place I visited in Seville. Well worth a visit."

Another chimed: "One of the most spectacular plazas in Spain, and definitely a must-see for anyone visiting Seville. The park surrounding it is also nice."

A third wrote the walk there is "well worth" it, adding: "Stunning architecture and not too busy when we visited. A beautiful place to visit. Allow an hour. You can hire a small rowing boat which isn't expensive."

Tourists will also want to weave the Real Alcazar and Seville Cathedral into their itinerary, with Parque de Maria Luisa offering a tranquil retreat from city life.

These sights are well-placed in an autumn itinerary as the season is the perfect time to visit Seville. Summer temperatures often reach a scorching 40C, though they're much more enjoyable at around 26C in October.

Skyscanner is currently offering return flights to this Spanish gem in October for just £60 from London airports to Seville (SVQ).

As an incredible walking-friendly city, the five top attractions can be reached within one mile of one another when using the most efficient route, according to Preply's experts.

For those instances where you need a quicker route, Seville has excellent public transport links within the city and surrounding regions.

The Andalusian spot is home to two main bus terminals: Prado de San Sebastian, from which buses service cities and towns in Andalucia, and Plaza de Armas, from which buses depart to different regions of Spain and Portugal.

Cycling is generally a safe and convenient way to explore the city, and there are plenty of rental shops across the centre.

Alternatively, the Metro-Centro tram network begins in Plaza Nueva in the centre of the city and terminates at San Bernado train station, which offers connections to the metro. You can buy a ticket from each tram station.
