Easy-Walking Europe: Tips and Suggested Tours for the (Somewhat) Mobility Impaired: 2020, Compact Edition (Easy-Walking Travel)

Do you love to travel but aches and pains are slowing you down a bit? Easy-Walking Europe is a travel guide aimed to make traveling in Europe as doable and fun as possible for those who aren't as mobile or energetic as they used to be.

You can still travel abroad, even if you've left your youthful fitness far behind—you may just need to adjust your plans and expectations a little. This book gives you the tools to do that.

Find insightful discussion of the physical challenges of Europe and useful tips on how to minimize them. Read invaluable pointers on traveling in general and specifics on planning an overseas trip, including a reassuring timeline that lays out everything you need to do and when you should do it. Learn easy-walking principles that you can apply to anyplace you want to visit, including and beyond the places in this book.

Capping off the general travel advice are chapters bursting with travel information for specific cities and their surroundings—Edinburgh, Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Vienna, and Munich. Each chapter includes a possible travel plan (if you want detailed guidance on what to do) and information about transportation, lodging, and sightseeing in each city.

If the heart is young but the legs no longer are, this is the travel guide for you!

Note: Designed to supplement a traditional travel guide, not to replace it. Does not discuss sights in-depth.
