A2 #InspireToWander For me it’s the age of the city & how long it’s been the capital, the history.

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A1) I think a lot of times it’s a good place to start when visiting a country you haven’t been to before. I don’t like to linger in the megacities for too long though. #InspiretoWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A2: Walkability is a big one for me. Also ease of getting to/from the airport/train station. Lastly, food & overall vibe. I wanna see beautiful architecture & epic street art as I walk off a delicious meal! #InspireToWander

A2: Typically, capital cities have great public transportation, which makes bopping around the many neighborhoods easier and convenient. #InspireToWander

A2: There needs to be certain vibe to it and, again, plenty to see and do. Great food, sightseeing, activities, etc. We've been to some state capitals that totally lame. #inspiretowander

replying to @OliviaRutt @OliviaRutt @MandyMPower I appreciate cities more after I’ve had some time in nature, and vice versa. #InspireToWander

A2: The people for sure! For example, we love going to Tokyo because although it can be a very busy city, the people that live there are so incredibly friendly. #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A2) I think the most beneficial thing is for travelers that may not be bilingual there is a higher likelihood for more accessibility and ease of access. There also tends to be more public transit which is beneficial. #InspiretoWander

replying to @theanchoredblog @theanchoredblog Urgh, we totally missed the boat on great public transportation in Texas. But I totally agree. #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A1: we usually try to start in a capital city because they are easy to travel too! And then go on day trips outside of the city to get away from the hustle and bustle #InspireToWander
