Getting into town

Walkable ports

Can you walk from the ship into town? Realistic means yes. Conditional means you can, but the walk may be long, hot, hilly or unpleasant. Impractical means it isn't a sensible walk.

Each guide below has the arrival, walking and transport details for that port. Open one for the full route and what to expect on the day, or browse all guides.

We've checked the walk at 385 ports in 57 countries and island groups. Browse all guides, including ports not listed here.

A walkable port isn't necessarily step-free. At tender ports, the walk starts at the landing. A fare may cover only part of the journey, so check the guide for the full route.

How to read these comparisons

We only compare shuttles and public transport where walking isn't a clear yes. A bus or shuttle may cover only part of the way, or go somewhere else entirely, so check the guide for the route and what the ticket covers. Free shuttles come first. Fares are only put in order when the tickets are the same kind.

Not recorded: we haven't checked this yet, though the guide may say more. None: the guide records no such service. Not applicable: the comparison doesn't fit, either because the guide covers a route or several places, or because you can walk and a shuttle doesn't matter. Unknown fare: there's a service, but we don't have its price. Service unknown: we haven't confirmed the shuttle runs.

Times and distances run from the berth or landing to the landmark named in each guide. That isn't always the city on your itinerary. On the walking page, realistic walks come first, then conditional ones, then ports where walking isn't practical. Within each group, the shortest walks come first.
