Historic Streets of the World

 

Calle Ciegos, Jerez, Spain

Found at Bodega Tio Pepe in the Andalusian city of Jerez, Calle Ciegos is instantly recognizable thanks to the thick grapevines that have grown to create a roof over the street. Best known as Spain's top sherry producer, Jerez celebrates its wine heritage during the harvest in September, which is also usually the best time to see Calle Ciegos. Celebrations pay tribute to three culturally significant aspects of Jerez – wine, horses and flamenco.

Historical Streets of the World

 

Bourbon Street, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

New Orleans' loudest thoroughfare, Bourbon Street has become synonymous with the city's party life. Bright lights, throbbing music and wrought-iron balconies characterize the 13-block strip stretching through NOLA's French Quarter. Although some might think that it's named after one of America's favorite tipples, it was actually an honor given to the House of Bourbon (France's ruling family). Engineer Adrien de Pauger designed the city's street layout in 1721, while Louisiana was under French control.

Historic Streets in the World

 


Via Giudecca, Burano, Italy

Arguably the most popular spot on the Italian island of Burano, Via Giudecca looks out to the lagoon, with the island's brightly colored houses lining the street and the canal. It's thought that the island got its signature look back in the day when fishermen painted their houses as bright as possible, so they would be easier to spot in the thick fog so common on the lagoon. A popular day-trip destination from Venice, Burano is also famous for its lace work.

Historic Streets of the World

 


Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Paris, France

Usually visited by around 300,000 people every day, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées is, quite simply, picture perfect. Just over 1.2-miles (2km) long, it's a straight tree-lined avenue, connecting two of Paris' main attractions: Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe. The avenue, affectionately called Les Champs by locals, is home to some of the most exclusive designer stores in the city, as well as the famous Ladurée patisserie.

Historic Streets of the World

 




Acorn Street, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Located in Boston's historic Beacon Hill neighborhood, Acorn Street is often said to be the most photographed street in the US. Wealthy tradesmen and artists lived here in the 19th century, and today it's one of Boston's most famous attractions, instantly recognizable thanks to its Federal-style brick rowhouses and gas lanterns.
