Via physical elements and mental experiences projected through the picture that each person has created, each city tells a different story. Man recognizes a familiar part of the city, and the picture he produces at this point is rich with memories and meanings. The idea of movement within a city is contained in roads, paths, walks, tours, and explorations in relation to man and space. However, it may not always be clear and understandable, may not have a clear destination, or may even be complicated, resulting in uncertainty and disorientation.

We are focusing at the importance of movement within the city as a result of the restricted movement caused by the pandemic that began in March 2020 up to today. The starting point for bibliographic research is the concept of flâneur in the 19^th century, an eccentric wanderer who explores elements of the city without being detected. It then proceeds to the 20^th century, where the value of the city is analyzed in relation to how its inhabitants and its visitors confront it. This relationship is viewed through five factors that assist the individual in forming a personal and collective image of the city. Finally, we focus at the principle of spatial orientation, also known as Wayfinding, which is the process of locating, moving, or discovering a direction, as well as how technology influences communication and interaction with the environment.

All of the data we gathered from the bibliography raises some questions about the frequency and reason that someone moves through the city, using Volos as an example, and how the individual orients itself within it. Furthermore, if the concept of flâneur persists, if subjects continue to create a collective image of the city, or if they are directed through technological means. The overall survey was carried out with the development of a questionnaire in order to demonstrate how all of this fits within the context of a Greek city.
