It's surely the only way to get to know a city.

I don't know about that, however I reckon a better way is to cycle round. In
my case I have a notoriously detailed knowledge of most of London,
doubtlessly gleaned from many (mainly night-time) outings by bicycle.

Yes, you have a point - but for a non-cyclist, like me....
