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.

Convent Avenue – Harlem, New York City

Royal Tenenbaum bought the house on Archer Avenue in the winter of his 35th year. Over the next decade, he and his wife had three children, and then they separated.

From West 140th Street to 145th Street, you’ll see the beautiful street known as Convent Avenue. Head to 339 Convent Avenue to view The Royal Tenenbaums’ house. You’ll also see the stunning Convent Avenue Baptist Church while strolling this Harlem street.

Caminito – La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina

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.

If you’re interested in seeing old architecture, this is your spot. Brouwersgracht is filled with warehouses from the 17th century, tanneries and it’s the space where spice traders once operated.

Known as the most stunning street in Amsterdam, Brouwersgracht has great views of canals and Dutch architecture.
