replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel Walking ranks #1! I actually like using those hop-on/hop-off buses as mode of transportation, and get a history lesson while at it. #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A4: I always start my time in the city by walking the area I’m staying to get a feel for it. I usually end up walking the whole time if I enjoy a place! #InspireToWander

A1: Capital cities have so much to offer! But can get overwhelming. Balance them out with a more serene location. For instance, we are located only 65 miles from DC or Richmond. Perfect for day trips or pre/post city stays. #InspireToWander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel Yes! I always participate in a walking tour on my first day. Helps get acclimated with a city, and the local guides always give great tips and restaurant recs! #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A4. Tricky question. It really depends on the city. Of the choices, walking, but with a written guide which could lead to getting lost! #InspireToWander

A4 #InspireToWander I like to start with a walking tour just to get acquainted with the city, then I’ll go get lost in it.

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander @theanchoredblog A4) I think walking tours are a wonderful way of starting out in a city. I took @OgoTours when getting to Madrid and it was best thing I did to get an idea of the areas I would want to visit from locals’ POV. I enjoy exploring cities by foot! #InspiretoWander

A3- When I visit a capital or any city, I always look for things to see and do, nightlife, food, cost, and safety #InspireToWander #travelingsession

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander We made a rule, we'd walk any routes under 30 mins and we take public transit for longer distances. We've found so many hidden gems this way! #InspireToWander

A5. I live in Toronto, so about a 3.5 hour drive from Ottawa. I visit several times a year & have done so all my life to visit relatives. My favourite thing to do is to walk around downtown & along the Ottawa River @inspiretowander #InspireToWander

A4. I love walking around a city. I'll have a few spots I have to see, then wander to see things "not touristy". I love exploring neighborhoods! #inspiretowander

A3 #InspiretoWander @JustinLaurenXO when we visit a Capital City, I like to get inspired by movies featuring that city before we travel. When we arrive, it gives us a sense of familiarity. Like when we watched and enjoyed #LondonHasFallen 👍
roamingwitvijay
replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander I tend to look for free walking tours. Generally with capital cities, there tends to be one or multiple walking tours. You just get cursory glimpse and maybe even learn a little more about the city #InspireToWander !
