Independent of the auto
It's hard to believe that before the early 20th century, almost every city in the world was "car-free." Zoom ahead 100 years later, and you have to do some real digging to escape the army of cars now clogging the planet's roads and highways. Sure, there are some cities with car-free zones, but we wanted to find destinations where entire populations go about their business independent of the automobile. Below are some of our top choices. If you visit, just remember to pack some good sneakers. (Text by Michael D'estries)
