1. The symbol of the beauty and grandeur of Paris, Chapms-Elysees, (Chance Lise), is considered one of the most grandiose streets in the world. The legendary Arc de Triomphe and no less legendary boutiques and restaurants are located on it, which, of course, attracts thousands of tourists. This street with a romantic name is a mandatory item in the program of visiting the French capital.

2. La Rambla connects Plaza Catalunya with the monument to Christopher Columbus and is an ever-bustling street in the center of Barcelona. Rambla is dearly loved by both city guests and locals. It is said that those walking along this street, filled with flower shops and street performers, have a passionate desire that La Rambla never ends.

3. Illuminated by bright lights, Las Vegas offers everyone who wants to live in luxury hotels, try to become a millionaire in a casino or just have a good rest at a noisy pool party. Of course, the main street of the city, Las Vegas Strip is a zone of increased concentration of everything above the above, and just a very beautiful place in the US state of Nevada.

4. "There is nothing better than Nevsky Prospekt, at least in St. Petersburg; for him it is everything. What is not shining this street — the beauty of our capital!", — N.V. Gogol wrote with admiration. The main street of St. Petersburg breathes not only history, but also culture, representing a kind of mystical place where events from the world-famous Dostoevsky novel once took place. Nevsky Prospekt is one of the main attractions that Western tourists rush to see when they find themselves in the city.

5. Shanghai Nanjing Road is the most famous shopping street in China and maybe in all of Asia. The length of this longest shopping street is six kilometers. Literally everything is sold here: from antique antiques to fast food. It's hard to believe, but a million people visit this street every day!

6. Rome, Italy

On one of the most ancient Roman roads, Via Appia, cars are passing today, but its part, which leads to the outskirts of the city, has almost completely preserved its original appearance. A walk along Via Appia, among the centuries-old ruins and archaeological sites, leaves unforgettable memories.

7. Jerusalem, Israel

Via Dolorosa (Via Dolorosa), "The Road of Sorrow" — the path along which Jesus Christ walked from the place of execution to Golgotha. Along the way, various events occurred that stopped the sad procession. To date, 14 stops or stations have been canonized, each of which is marked by chapels or churches. Via Dolorosa is a sacred place for Israelis and pilgrims from all over the world.

8. Broadway is the longest and widest New York street, along which, without interfering with each other, about fifty theaters are located.

In 1925 , Vladimir Mayakovsky dedicated several emotional lines to this street:

Look to the left – Mother mother!To the right — my mother mother!There is something to see the Moscow bratva.And they won't get to the end in a day. This is New York.This is Broadway. Gau du yu du!I'm excited about New York City.

9. Paseo de la Reforma is the main avenue in Mexico City and the most famous street on the whole continent. It is on Paseo de la Reforma that the famous Independence Monument, also known as the Angel (Monumento a la Independencia or El Angel), is located, which, by the way, is shown in most Mexican TV series as a symbol of the capital. On Sundays, the avenue is closed to car traffic, which makes walking along it an extremely pleasant pastime.

10. London's Piccadilly Street, sung by Laima Vaikule, has sheltered many interesting institutions – from theaters to fashionable hotels and restaurants. A wide and busy street in the evening is effectively illuminated with lights, attracting tourists 24 hours a day.
