Power Walk: The Most Walkable Cities in the World

Marrakesh
Marrakesh is a true cultural marvel. The major Moroccan city is ripe with bustling marketplaces (called souks), palaces, mosques, and more. Many call it the Red City in reference to the characteristic red sandstone buildings that populate the area.
