The world's most walkable city rarely visited by tourists
The city is off the beaten track and not such a well known destination, but it has a lot of memorable sights to offer the visitor.
Quite often the best way to explore a city is on foot, as long as the distances are not too large.
Walking gives the visitor an opportunity to take in the sights at a leisurely pace, as well as to soak up the city vibes.
Some of the best cities to explore on foot include Paris, Prague, Budapest and Saint Petersburg - to name but a few.
Their historic centres are contained within reasonably small areas, making walking a great way to explore the sights.
A new study has revealed an African city as the most walkable of the world's cities.
Quelimane is a seaport in Mozambique and is a city rich in history, culture, and natural beauty.
The city was revealed as the most foot friendly of the 794 cities surveyed in a report titled “The ABC of Mobility”.
The survey found that walking is still the most popular mode of transport and is used more widely than any other option - particularly by those living close to the urban centre.
Quelimane is off the beaten track and not such a well known destination, but it has a lot of memorable sights to offer the visitor.

From its Portuguese colonial heritage to its bustling markets and scenic surroundings, the city offers visitors a little bit of everything.
Its diverse mix of ethnic groups, including Makua, Sena, and Yao, contribute to the city's vibrant cultural heritage.
Some of that can be experienced through its delicious cuisine, which combines African and Portuguese influences.
Local markets with their treasure trove of fresh produce and spices are great places to get a real feel of the city and its people.
Quelimane is also famous for its coconut plantations that once were one of the world's largest.
The city is located just 25km from the mouth of the Rio dos Bons Sinais ("River of the Good Signs").
The river was named when Vasco da Gama, on his way to India, reached it and saw "good signs" that he was on the right path.
The town was the end point of David Livingstone's west-to-east crossing of south-central Africa in 1856.
