Whenever I go on holiday in Europe I always try to take in a walk or two, even if it is just a city walk. However, if I can persuade my wife to go further from city into countryside - even at the expense of a shopping trip in the city I will certainly do so! Apart from the cities I do take some European holidays with walks in the mountains and countryside being part of the plan. Thus you will find walks of all variety here, some easy city walks for all the family to enjoy and some much harder including some tough mountain climbs.
