By "roaming" on foot, Citywalkers get away from internet famous hotspots and commercial hubs, instead seeking out interactions with locals, authentic snacks, and a deeper appreciation for the history and culture of the city. Seasoned Citywalkers have hopped on the trend to share their own recommended routes and snack spots via social media, quickly racking up thousands of new subscribers.
