As a student, I was lucky enough to study abroad in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden and one of Europe\u2019s prettiest cities.<\/p>\n

Spread across 14 islands, Stockholm might not sound like a pedestrian friendly city but it\u2019s actually incredibly walkable.<\/p>\n

In fact, the Swedish capital was one of the first cities in the world to introduce congestion pricing and city planners have put a focus on pedestrians in design.<\/p>\n

Compared to London, where I live now, Stockholm was much easier to explore on foot and it definitely had a benefit on my health and mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing quite like a walk to boost your mood and meeting a daily step count is one of the best and simplest ways to stay fit. So what makes Stockholm so walkable?<\/p>\n

Although residents don\u2019t tend to spend much time there, Stockholm\u2019s Old Town, Gamla Stan is one of its top tourist neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n

The pretty old town has several pedestrianised areas which make it easy to explore without worrying about cars.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to walk between hip Sodermalm, Gamla Stan and the city centre as the route is mostly flat and the distances aren\u2019t too vast.<\/p>\n
