Known as the 'way of sorrows,' Via Dolorosa traces the route walked by Christ toward the cross where he was crucified. People come to this road from around the world to pay homage to Christ in this city that is filled with religious monuments and sites. Marked by Nine Stations of the Cross, Via Dolorosa is the site of weekly symbolic processions that lead from the Fortress of Antonia all along a route that twists and turns.

Among the earliest Roman roads, it remains one of the most famous roads today. There is a section of the Via Appia used in Rome today for busy traffic, yet much of this road that leads out of the city is in ruins. Even so, these ruins and the archeological sites along the road attract people from all over the world. To walk part of the Via Appia or Appian Way as it is often called is a memorable event one is never likely to forget. Moreover, the quality of Roman construction is evident in this road's classical design.

One of the most famous streets in the western hemisphere, Paseo de la Reforma is well-known throughout the world. Modeled after Europe's grand boulevards, Mexico City's major thoroughfare is home to the nation's National Palace as well as renowned landmarks like El Angel de la Independencia and others that honor heroes of Mexico and the Americas. Studded with luxury hotels and tourist attractions, this is a must-visit street when traveling to Mexico City.

10. Piccadilly Circus, London, UK



This stretch of road, better described as a junction, is one of the most well-known places in London. Popular among visitors to the UK, Piccadilly Circus is home to nightclubs, theatres, and memorials that are known throughout the world. Filled with illuminated signs and throngs of people, this thoroughfare is one of the most recognized stretches of asphalt world-wide. With so many attractions, it's easy to see why visitors can't wait to board London's double-decker buses to visit this part of town!

A trip down any one of these streets would be magnificent, but if you are lucky enough to see them all so much the better! Each one is wonderful in its own unique way.
