Traveling will expose you to new ways of living and doing. Not only will you try new foods and learn different languages, but you’ll be able to see how beautiful other countries are with your own eyes.

One of my favorite things to do while traveling is stroll through cities and experiencing the beauty of streets unknown. Some streets are filled with colorful homes while others are very monochromatic. Either way, this world has some pretty interesting and stunning streets to discover through travel.

Here are the most beautiful streets in the world.

Caminito means “the little path” in Spanish and is also the most colorful street in Buenos Aires.

There was once a railroad that ran through this area but it closed in the 1950s, resulting in the street becoming neglected. A local artist by the name of Benito Quinquela Martin saw potential in the street and began the process of bringing it back to life.

Now Caminito is known as a street museum and showcases local artists’ works.
