Amidst beautiful scenery, stunning road trips, and mesmerizing train rides, there is something special about taking the scenic route. These experiences not only make for an exhilarating journey, but also serve as a reminder that beauty surrounds us—as long as we take the time to appreciate it.
When it comes to streets, it is clear that not all are alike. Compare a simple grass-lined path to the colorful Caminito street in Buenos Aires, which not only offers a vibrant photo opportunity but also showcases the neighborhood’s historical roots from the 19th century.
Streets do not always need a rich history or vibrant colors to be charming or worth a detour. Some are known for their natural beauty, like the cherry blossom tunnel in Bonn, Germany, which blooms for a brief period every spring. Others, like the Champs-Élysées in Paris, boast stunning architecture and lush greenery—perfect for a leisurely stroll regardless of whether you plan to visit the shops and restaurants along the avenue. With a world full of wonder, let this list inspire you to discover the most beautiful street in your own city or town. Here, AD presents 71 of the world’s most beautiful streets.
