I enjoy walking around, seeing gardens, street scenes, diving in to an interesting shop or bakery (my true weakness), but I also like seeing the inside of musems. I plot my course by museums / sites to see. I've seen a lot of country looking for the small museums (Museums of Wine in Paris). On the otherhand I've also enjoyed having an albatross fly overhead while sitting on a beach in Scotland.

I have found that it's often safer for everyone if I walk. Get to the destination, then park the car and walk. No one complains too much if you stop in your tracks and/or turn around and go the other way. Besides, you can't smell the bakeries in a car.

Haven't tried bike touring, but that sounds like fun. My French friend (who I've vacationed with), isn't much of an outdoors woman. She'd happily drop me off for the cycle tour and see me at the end. She will walk just about anywhere, so I have tricked her into hiking places, just not all day hikes in the mountains.
