➮5TH AVENUE, NEW YORK

Fifth Avenue is still New York's (and the world's) best retail strip, despite recent incursions by suburban mall favourites like the Disney Store, Abercrombie & Fitch, and H&M. Famous department stores, upscale shops, and breathtaking window displays are still found there, especially around the holidays.

➮BOND STREET, LONDON

The similarly upscale Sloane Street is just a mile distant.

➮AVENUE MONTAIGNE, PARIS

This boulevard, which runs from Picadilly to Oxford Street, is arguably the busiest in all of Europe.

➮BAHNHOFSTRASSE, ZURICH

One of the most prestigious addresses in the world, this street is flanked with trees and home to top fashion designer boutiques and, of course, world-famous Swiss watchmakers. It has a world-famous luxury confectionary at the end, the Confiserie Sprungli, and is very pedestrian-friendly.

➮VIA MONTENAPOLEONE, MILAN

➮RODEO DRIVE, LOS ANGELES

Perhaps the world's glitziest and most glamurous shopping area, this is where the rich and the famous get their haute couture fashions to show off on Hollywood's red carpets.

➮GINZA, TOKYO

➮P.C. HOOFTSTRAAT, AMSTERDAM

Amsterdam offers some of the most pleasurable shopping experiences in the world due to its excellent pedestrian infrastructure.

➮STROGET, COPENHAGEN

The longest pedestrian shopping area in Europe, this is one among the seven wonders of urban life. Even if there are many well-known luxury boutiques, you can also find the well-known chain stores that are widely accessible. The fact that it is blocked to traffic and that you can always stop for a drink at an outdoor café further elevates this as one of the best places in the world to shop.

➮CALLE SERRANO, MADRID

Among the finest shopping streets in the world, this one is possibly the least well-known. It is one of Spain's (and Europe's) most expensive streets, ranking alongside Calle Preciados in Madrid's affluent area. Naturally, the majority of the top international brands and designers are located here, drawing the swankiest Madridites looking to stand out.
