All over the world you will not find two streets similar to each other, like two drops of water. But not every street boasts unforgettable beauty. But each street that delights in its architecture or atmosphere remains in our memory forever. For example, it is impossible not to fall in love with the colorful Avenue Caminito. It not only provides visitors with the opportunity to take vivid, extraordinary photographs, but also serves as a guide to history, since this area was built in the 19th century.
But the streets do not need to conduct history lessons or be breathtaking in order to win our love. Some of them delight the eye with their originality, others are distinguished by their stunning natural features, for example, a gallery of flowering sakura in Bonn. No wonder Cherry Blooms Avenue is becoming a pilgrimage site for many beauty lovers for several weeks every spring. Find out what other streets of the world are ready to share their beauty, turning our understanding of urban architecture?
List of the most beautiful streets in the world
1
Tetsugaku no michi
Located in the Japanese city of Kyoto, this street is almost 2 km long, immersed in the splendor and aroma of cherry trees. It runs parallel to the water channel and leads to the Ginkaku-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The best time to visit Tetsugaku no michi is April, when the trees overhanging the road blossom and immerse travelers in the "paradise clouds".

Chambles
On both sides of the narrow streets of Chambles are buildings that were built in the XIV century. Visit this street in York in England if you are interested in lovely old buildings with wooden frames that bend overhanging outlandish “birds” over passers-by.

Steiner Street
Believe me, you know this street very well. She "lit up" in the frames of such a famous film as "Mrs. Doutfire" (1993). Both the street itself and a number of houses near Alamo Square in San Francisco have become a historic attraction that attracts thousands of tourists every year.
Victorian and Edwardian houses painted in pastel colors are admirable.
4
Calleja de las flores
A cozy and sweet street is located in the heart of the Andalusian city of Cordoba. This is a tiny street on which more than two people cannot pass. But its snow-white walls and plenty of flowers will bring you a lot of positive emotions. The Spanish street is so charming that you will want to come back here again.
5
Caminito
Multicolor houses located in the La Boca district of Buenos Aires (Argentina) represent most of the history of the late 19th century. When European immigrants arrived here from the Italian city of Genoa, many of them became operators in a dock with such a low level of income that they simply could not build houses for themselves. They erected buildings from pieces of corrugated sheet metal, covering them with the paint that was at hand at that time. When one color ended, they took any other. And this colorful area was born.
Today, Caminito continues to live and prosper due to the fact that artists recreate old apartment buildings in La Boca.
6
Pawnshop street
San Francisco Lombard Street has become one of the most visited streets in the city. Tourists often gather to watch drivers make their way through the sharp turns of roads.
Completed in 1922, the street was designed to slow down cars on steep hills. It is permitted to drive at a speed not exceeding 5 miles per hour (8 km).
7
Al-Hassan Onsar
The streets of the small town of Chawen in northwestern Morocco are famous for all shades of blue. Founded in 1471, the city was once used by emigrants from Spain as a fortress. Over the centuries, many Jews moved to Chefchaouen, bringing with them an ancient belief that the abundance of blue dye in the exterior decoration of houses reminds people of the power of divine power.
If you are here, then visit Al-Hascan Onsar and Ryu-Autivi Streets. Walk along the narrow stairs leading up and down Binh-Suaki Street.
8
Ciecos in Jerez de la Frontera
The Spanish city of Jerez de la Frontera is known for its fine wine. Here you will see a historical monument - a street twined with vine leaves and vines growing along the surrounding walls.
9
Qiyi Street Chongron Alley
UNESCO World Heritage Site - The 1000-year-old Old Town in Lijiang China is famous for its streamlined canals and paths. Take a walk along Kiyi Chongron or Wooey Street. Lying along the water, connected by bizarre bridges, these streets restore inner harmony and make an indelible impression.

Cherry blossom avenue
Within two to three weeks in spring, a magical tunnel of flowering trees emerges over Cherry Blooms Avenue.
This street in Bonn is a favorite place for all lovers, tourists and photographers.
11
Bregagh road
Bregagh Road in Northern Ireland is a “birch street” designed in the 18th century.
12
Elysian Fields
Champs Elysees in Paris could well claim the title of "most famous street in the world." Well-groomed trees neatly frame a nearly 2 km long avenue that extends from Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe.
13
Brouwersgracht
Many canals of Amsterdam dotted with boats have attracted travelers for centuries. But Brouwersgracht, located 800 meters northwest of the main railway station, is the most picturesque avenue in the Dutch capital.
14
Umbrella Streets
The Umbrella Sky Project was launched in 2011 as part of the annual Agitagueda Arts Festival (Portugal).
Every summer, when the temperature reaches its highest values, canopies of colorful umbrellas are created over several narrow streets of Agueda, which give a saving shadow and cool pedestrians.
Old Arbat
We would like to finish the article with a beautiful street located in the center of the Russian capital - the beautiful Moscow. This is not only one of the most beautiful Moscow streets, but also one of the most ancient.
The street is an eyewitness to many events, both beautiful and sad. Many famous personalities lived on the Arbat, including Tolstoy, Chekhov, Pushkin, Gogol.
Today it is a pedestrian street in the very center of Moscow. In any weather, she meets residents of the capital and tourists with friendly facades of buildings, animators, numerous cafes and shops.
So our virtual tour of the beautiful streets of the world has come to an end. And which street left a pleasant mark in your heart? Please write about this in the comments.
