The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I am hoping to get ideas of where else to travel to, based on this category. Let's discuss!

A lot of the planet is walkable, once you leave the car-dependent USA.

If you include transit, I would say Tokyo is in that category. Take a train to an area, and walk around.

Madrid was similar. Salzburg I remember being walkable, though we stayed near the train station and near the Hohen Salzburg.

London has an extensive "underground", so you can pop up almost anywhere, and walk to almost anything. Plus their buses. We did Abbey Road to the Greenwich Observatory to the War Museum.

Seoul was pretty good.

Singapore also.

Lisbon has good buses, and a decent subway.

In none of these cities did we rent or need a car. Just walk, and/or transit. Sometimes you don't even need a car to go to the airport...the transit has a stop there (though not all of them).
