I read those lists of the Ten Things You Must Do in... and I wonder why I actually read them.
But, I have made up my own list.
When in Paris, London, Barcelona, Rome, Florence, Venice, Verona, Granada, Seville, or Dublin
you must take an evening stroll.
These cities (and that is true in the USA, as well) take on a different character. In Europe, people do not go to bed as early as we do. Thus, the tourists go back to their hotels or ships for dinner leaving the cities of Europe to the locals. This is when the natives leave work and get out and around. Things are less crowed and the lights give the streets a whole new look.
It is also romantic.
So, when traveling, set aside time to go for a stroll every evening.
