Top 5 most beautiful streets in the world
5️⃣ Quarter Dumbo, Brooklyn, New York, USA 🇺🇸
Dumbo, located at the intersection of Water Street and Washington Street, is preparing a special surprise for its visitors. As you peacefully stroll down the cobblestone street, just a few steps away the cityscape is split apart by the spontaneous view of the bridge between Manhattan and Brooklyn. The symmetric houses on both sides of Washington Street create a huge architectural frame for the bridge. Thanks to such views and design, photographs turn out magnificent.
4️⃣ Agueda, Portugal 🇵🇹
The city of Agueda remains an unremarkable Portuguese village for most of the year. But as soon as summer arrives, it transforms unrecognizably. These metamorphoses on the streets of Agueda began in 2011 with the annual AgitÁgueda festival. The Umbrella Sky project comes to life with the arrival of the heat. It covers several of the city's narrowest streets, where every extra degree is particularly noticeable. Canopies made of colorful umbrellas cover pedestrian areas with refreshing shade. Moreover, they also look exceptionally beautiful, which has turned the once modest Agueda into a true tourist center.
3️⃣ Setenil de las Bodegas, Spain 🇪🇸
The small town of Setenil de las Bodegas is located between Malaga and Seville. It is home to only 2,967 people. What could be interesting about such a tiny settlement? If we tell you that the locals live in low white houses, you might not believe that tourists come here just for such beautiful, but quite typical for Spain, architecture. And you would be absolutely right because the main feature of the buildings is that they are built directly on rocky formations. Huge stone boulders hang over the streets. They serve as roofs for houses and terraces. You won't see a similar sight anywhere else. New arriving tourists take their first steps cautiously, but the locals have long been accustomed to the fact that rocks weighing hundreds of tons hang over their heads. Thanks to them, even in the summer days, a pleasant coolness lingers in the area.
2️⃣ Brunngasse, Brienz, Switzerland 🇨🇭
The Swiss village of Brienz already deserves attention from investors due to its location. Surrounded by mountains with dense greenery and transparent turquoise water, it would be foolish to spoil such landscapes with ultra-modern skyscrapers and soulless glass facades, so the locals have chosen not to do so. They have preserved their homes in their original state. The best example of traditional architecture is Brunngasse street. It is filled with 18th-century chalets with snow-white first floors and upper floors made of dark wood. The houses are decorated with hand-carved woodwork, for which the village is famous, and large pots of geraniums are attached to each windowsill.
1️⃣ Colmar, France 🇫🇷
This city in northeastern France is located not far from Germany, so in the architecture there are distinctively German notes. Colmar is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. To see its most attractive side, it is worth visiting the streets of the Old Town. The architecture of past centuries has been preserved on them, which still looks as if the window shutters were painted in bright red and orange shades just yesterday. It seems that the city frozen in time does not feel its influence at all. The Alsatian charm of the buildings is emphasized by the bright colors with which the locals decorate their homes.
