I think the same way,however there was one city I did enjoy navigating as a pedestrian, and it was a grid layout - Barcelona. I think its because the grid is just for the cars, as a pedestrian you can walk “in between” the grid parallels and there were strange walkways and “diagonal” streets etc. Such a unique place

That's just one of the neighborhoods though. But Barcelona's grid neighborhood Eixample it's a very interesting design: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eixample
