Description
Explore the diverse cultural and historical legacy of the world's greatest writers, artists and composers on foot.
This unique trans-continental culture trip around the world presents a series of inspiring walks, treks, and hikes that vary between easy one-hour strolls, half day trails, and multi-day expeditions for people who love a walking holiday and are looking for a more immersive experience. The book includes walks in easy to reach countryside areas, national parks, the wild, and the great cities of the world.
From an urban Street Art Walking Tour of East London to a traverse through the Georgian melting pot city of Tbilisi to a literary-themed Millennium Tour of Stieg Larsson’s Stockholm, Discover the World in 500 Walks with Writers, Artists & Musicians has all the inspiration and information you need to plan your next walking adventure.

For those of us straining under Covid lockdowns, this book is a delightful tease, a way to plan for those trips that we will all, hopefully, be able to make again soon. Taking readers (and walkers) around the world, Stathers provides both insight into the artist whose territory she’s stalking and practical information about the hike itself. From novice or those of us a little out of shape to walks for the more advanced hikers, or just folks who want to dream of being able to travel again, this is a lovely, intellectual breath of fresh air

Such an interesting book, great colorful images and inspiring ideas for walks. Can't wait to experience some of the local walks in the book and also take it with me next time I'm on holiday.

This is a fantastic book. Incredibly well researched, very engaging and full of wonderful photographs and tons of places to visit when the world opens up again! I really like that there are some nuggets of information about well-trodden paths, as well as different areas to explore - I found out new things about places on my own doorstep! There are some walks featured in places I never really intend to visit, but even with these it is very interesting to read who has lived or visited where. A refreshing take on a classic theme, full of inspirational ideas.
With thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - White Lion for an advance copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Excellent guide to some inspired walks, completed some already so can confirm the research has been done well. Lovely photos, facts and features of the walks and duration all very useful. A go to book for when planning your travels. Thank you #NetGalley for the copy.

I can't wait to be able to travel again so that I can visit some of the places mentioned here, but revisiting the entries for places I have been was wonderful.
This would be a great resource for book groups looking for reading suggestions as well as a way for readers to armchair travel for pleasure.
