Après avoir voyagé dans plus de 30 pays, il y a une chose que j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise dès le premier jour, et cela a complètement changé ma façon de découvrir les nouvelles villes.
Les visites à pied gratuites. Oui, vraiment gratuites. Pas besoin de carte de crédit. Pas de piège.

J'ai fait ces visites dans des dizaines de villes et elles ont été le point fort de presque tous mes voyages. Si vous visitez Kyoto, Japan, faites-le le premier jour. Vous me remercierez plus tard.
