The most colourful streets in the world

Have you been to any of these streets?

There’s nothing that lightens up a place like beautiful bright colours. Colours have a way of making people feel alive and happy, so it is no wonder that some cities use colour to ensure that their streets remain attractive.

Below is a list of the top nine most colourful streets in the world, according to Southafrica.com. The good news is that our very own Mother City made it onto the list.

Ooooooh, I love bright clashing colors, so when I came across this list of the top eight most colourful streets in the world I felt my inner rainbow glowing!

I was so delighted to see our very own Cape Town was listed, pity its sister Durbs wasn't on the list. Maybe next time?

Here is the list...

1. el Caminito in Argentina

#lobakan de ir a Buenos Aires es que puedes conocer el tradicional Caminito y perderte en sus calles cargadas de colores y buenos tangos.

3. Bo Kaap in Cape Town

Os acordáis de nuestra receta para hacer un curry malayo? Pues éste es su origen: el barrio Malayo de Bo-Kaap en Ciudad del Cabo. Pued en una tiendecita que encontramos, compramos el mejor achar que he probado nunca. Achar es un chutney picante hindú ?? y estaba para relamerse los dedos! Una imagen colorida para alegrar este día tan gris en Barcelona ?????????? . .

4. Nyhavn in Denmark

#Nyhavn in #Copenhagen is brimming with history! Fun fact: building no. 9 is the oldest house in the area - it dates back to 1681. The famous Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen also used to live here; his first fairytale was written in house No. 20 in 1835! Thanks @sdrigby for sharing using #bbctravel.
