There’s something about the layout of many European cities that makes them a joy for running. Historic centers. Classic parks. Often located on a river lined with multi-use paths. Throw that in with a pedestrian and bike friendly layout and good transit and there’s your typical European city. For this list, we’ve pulled favorites from major European cities. Think of it as a travel book equivalent of ‘if you’re going to Rome you must do this run’. The list is organized in alphabetical order, by city (i.e. the routes themselves are not ranked). The list does not include ‘resort’ destinations such as St. Moritz, Greek Island, etc.
