This article examines walking as a spatial-temporal practice as well as a transformative practice within public space. The historical center of Athens has recently undergone a major transformation of its public spaces, produced mostly by major pedestrianization projects within the context of a reworking of the archaeological touristic profile of the capital. This article aims to explore the plural facets of experiencing the city while walking, which have been neglected by Greek planning authorities. Temporality, rhythmicity and presence make walking a meaningful practice that goes beyond the objective perception of the trail. Drawing on the narratives of six citizens while walking, this article seeks to develop a vocabulary capable of informing public space design. The author, who takes a geographical, ethnographic perspective, aims to contribute through developing fieldwork methods and deepening the debate on public space planning by revealing walking as a place-anchored experience
