Literary Walking Tours Across Europe
Walk in the footsteps of literary legends. Free self-guided tours featuring Kafka, Joyce, Hemingway, and more. Audio guides in 13 languages.
What these walks are like
Writers are unusually specific about addresses, which makes their cities walkable. A café where a novel was drafted, the bridge in the third chapter, the flat with the wrong plaque on it — these routes follow the geography of the books themselves, with the passage that names each place.
Where to walk: Literary
London1 walk
London is one of the world's most walkable cities, with historic neighborhoods, royal palaces, and iconic landmarks all within reach. A self-guided walking tour lets you explore at your own pace—from the Tower of London to Camden Market, Buckingham Palace to the street art of Shoreditch.
Paris1 walk
Paris rewards those who explore on foot. From the grand boulevards of Haussmann to the intimate cobblestone streets of Montmartre, every neighborhood reveals a different facet of the city. A self-guided walking tour lets you linger at sidewalk cafés, browse bouquinistes along the Seine, and discover hidden passages at your own rhythm.
Rome1 walk
Rome is an open-air museum where ancient ruins stand beside Renaissance churches and baroque fountains. Walking is the best way to experience the Eternal City—you'll stumble upon 2,000-year-old temples, hidden piazzas, and perfect gelato shops that no bus tour would ever find.
