European Cities Collection 2023

The European Cities Collection 2023 rounds up the best urban experiences, including swimming, biking and walking adventures, plus the best hotels in Europe.

This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK).

One of the best ways to connect with a city is by exploring its outdoor spaces under your own steam.

In this issue of The Collection by National Geographic Traveller (UK), we set off on a series of urban adventures, including dipping into some of Europe's best spots for city swimming, from Icelandic geothermal pools to the ponds at Hampstead Heath in London. We then pedal through some of the best metropolises to explore on two wheel, before setting off on hiking trips and walking tours around the continent's bet green spaces located in or around cities.
