take a gander at some of the prettiest streets across the globe

By

If there's one thing we absolutely love to do while in a new country, it's to dilly-dally and wander through the streets while taking in all the lovely sights, sounds and smells on offer – and promptly spending all of our travel money on tasty eats and adorable knick-knacks.

Ranging from sun-soaked Greece to the rainy streets of England, we just so happened to find some of the nicest laneways, avenues, and alleys across the planet – potentially helping you plan your next vacation spot. Make sure to check out all of the fab photographers we've listed in our gallery above for a closer look, and sit back, relax and enjoy all the sights as you take a quick urban trip the world over (without leaving your abode). 

Breite Street, Bonn, Germany Cherry blossoms are usually associated with Japan, but there's a spot in the German city of Bonn that boasts some of the loveliest pink blooms you'll ever see. Get a load of Tim Rüßmann's springtime snaps here if you want a closer look. Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz, Spain The streets of Jerez de la Frontera in the city of Cádiz, Spain should be seen by any and all wine-lovers and history-buffs. See the pretty Spanish streets snapped by Luciano Salvatore over here, if you fancy. Chefchaouen, Morocco If you happen to be a big fan of blue, then feast your eyes on this Moroccon city since it's draped almost head-to-toe in a cerulean hue. Check out Press Wilson's snaps of the city's beautiful blue alleys this-a-wayParos, Greece This picturesque Greek island has pretty much anything we could ever ask for while on a summer holiday (AKA, super-soft sandy beaches to lounge around on with crystal-clear water to splash around in), as well as the iconic marble architecture that the country is known for. If you want a good look at Paros' white stone streets, check out Rosa Boerman's snaps hereThe Shambles, York, United Kingdom With a name like that you'd probably expect a daggy-looking street caked in litter and other nasty junk, but we're happy to report that this British street is a whimsical landscape straight out of history. Peep Piero Damiani's photos of York and The Shambles hereMuizz Street, Cairo, Egypt If ancient pyramids and a freaking giant sphinx made out of sand somehow doesn't impress you (who are you, Shania Twain!?), we reckon that Egypt's Muizz Street is literally up your alley. Head back in time and cast your peepers on Mohammed Dawa's spiffy snaps of the historical bazaar right here, if you'd like. 

We hope you enjoyed our list of fancy streets! While we have you, why not check out some lovely libraries, retro Japanese windows or a collection of staircases across the globe?
