Who we are
Myurbanhike is a free resource for people who enjoy the physical and mental aspects of walking as well as exploring new environments by foot. Our aim is to develop a collection of great walks throughout the world as well as build a community of people who want to share information about interesting walks in their neighbourhood.
Unlike other walking sites our focus is not on those planning a hike in a remote part of the country. Instead we cater for for people who want to explore urban areas (mostly large cities) where most people live. Whether you are visiting a new city for the first time, or just want to explore a new location in your own city, myurbanhike is for you!
We also know what a pain it can be to find a parking spot, or retrace your steps back to a car once you reach your destination. For this reason our walks are located next to public transport connections. This will take the hassle out of getting to your starting point and finding your way back home.
Walk categories
To assist you in deciding which urban hike is right for you all walks have been grouped by city/country and distance, as well as six other unique categories. You can find out more here.
Download our GPX files
Our site provides free access to all of our walks in GPX format. A GPX file is an open format GPS data file that can be easily imported into a navigation app such as Google Maps. More information on GPX files and how to import them into Google Maps is provided here.
In the future we will continue to add new walks to the site. However, to make sure we have the best walks in your city we need your feedback. So if you have some thoughts about the hikes listed on the site, or a suggestion about a great walk in your neighbourhood, please reach out to us on social media or send us a message via the contact page.
