As in all things, when it comes to streets the European version of "straight" is different than ours. Transit is probably nicer than you're used to, but walking should always be your first choice. Even if a journey is slightly past the limits of your endurance, in the end you'll be glad you did it.

And when your feet give out, taking public transit in another country is usually fun because it's all new. You're mixing with the locals, observing their public squabbles, brawls and advertising.

Cabbing everywhere is even preferable over renting a car because talking to a local cab driver is the modern equivalent of RPG tavern patrons.
