Historical Streets of the World

 


Christmas Steps, Bristol, UK

A medieval shopping lane dating back to the 1600s, Bristol's Christmas Steps is one of the few areas in the city that survived the notorious bombing raids during the Blitz. The original steps were constructed in 1669, however, today only four flights of steps (from 1865 and 1881) remain. Home to a variety of unique shops and art galleries, Christmas Steps is part of the Christmas Steps Art Quarter that has its own theater, museum and several pubs, cafés and restaurants

Historic Streets of the World

 

Via Dolorosa, Jerusalem

Believed to be the route Jesus walked on the way to his crucifixion, Via Dolorosa isn't only a tourist attraction, it's a significant pilgrimage for many Christians who travel to Jerusalem to walk the Way of Sorrows, as it's otherwise known. The route covers about 2,000 feet (600m) and stretches from Antonia Fortress to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Historic Streets in the World

 


Nathan Road, Hong Kong

Hong Kong's most popular street is the bright, buzzing Nathan Road. Often called The Golden Mile, it runs from close to Victoria Harbour to Prince Edward and Sham Shui Po and is instantly recognizable thanks to the abundance of neon signs. Littered with mega malls, shops, cafés and restaurants, it's also one of the top places in Hong Kong to sample the local cuisine.

Historic Streets of the World

 


Streets of Paraty, Brazil

Located on the Costa Verde, a coastal area known for its greenery, Paraty is an old colonial town, established by the Portuguese in 1667. Its colorful historic center, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is fully pedestrianized and much of its architecture, including its cobbled streets, hasn't changed for 250 years or more. A peculiar feature of the historic center are the raised doors – this is due to the high tides that flood the city in the mornings. Many visitors come here specifically to take photographs of the flooded streets and the reflections of the colorful buildings.

Historic Streets of the World

 


Via dei Fori Imperiali, Rome, Italy

A straight line connecting Piazza Venezia and the Colosseum, Via dei Fori Imperiali runs past some of Rome's most important historical sites, including the Roman Forum. Built by the order of dictator Benito Mussolini between 1924 and 1932, the road is only open to buses and taxis. Serious archaeological excavations have happened on both sides of the road over the years, and it's thought that significant Imperial Roman relics are still to be found in the vicinity.
